Seán Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, Ceann Comhairle)

Before the Deputy moves to speak on tourism, I wish to make a statement for the record of the House. The Deputy made a comment in the spirit of the debate regarding the taking away of levies. I know he did not personally mean anything by it but it is important to correct it by saying that Governments impose levies and take them away; the Civil Service do not do so.
