Mary Upton (Dublin South Central, Labour)

I support the tax exemption scheme for artists because I believe it is important. We could perhaps examine how it is distributed. Perhaps, it could be distributed over a number of years because often an artist might earn a great deal of money in one year from, for example, a piece of sculpture, and may not earn anything for three or four more years. The Minister indicated there will be further changes to the scheme in the forthcoming budget. Does she know at what level the exemption will be capped?
