Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The report of the Entrepreneurship Forum chaired by Mr. Sean O'Sullivan was leaked to the Irish Independent at the beginning of the year. I presume the Minister will be hosting some type of singing and dancing event to officially launch what has been already leaked. Perhaps the Taoiseach who is on his annual jaunt to Davos will come up with some gem while there. Does the Minister intend to implement the forum's report which contains some interesting and challenging recommendations around the taxation treatment of entrepreneurs, in particular. Has he had an opportunity to consider that matter and engaged with the Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan, on how tax entrepreneurs are taxed here and how that model could be changed. I accept that it is too soon to be talking about budgets, but does the Minister have a timeline for implementation of the report?
