I note from October's Exchequer returns that income tax is approximately €94 million, which is 0.6% below target, and VAT is €286 million, or 2.6% below target. Is the Minister concerned by these figures, given the fact that these taxes together comprise two thirds of revenue? Are we already beginning to see the impact of Brexit on domestic demand? Are the budget 2016 and budget 2017 figures beginning to unravel?
