-----move their money fast. They have three weeks to take €1.3 million tax-free and run. At a time when people cannot afford to put food on the table for their children and people are having their electricity cut off and cannot afford to heat their homes, the Minister is telling the wealthiest people coming up to Christmas to take the money and run, and the Government is prepared to allow them to take €1.3 million tax-free. It is a scandal. It is a disgrace that the Tánaiste should allow that transpire.
