Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will conclude by stating I will give further thought to this matter for the Seanad and can give the Deputy that assurance. However, I cannot accept the amendment he has tabled. If this is to be done and addressed, it is to be done at a value level for a single item and not on a general descriptive basis with the Minister having some broad discretion to announce a figure between one euro and €500,000.
