Again, what I am referring to is the future. It is a matter for the Government to ensure that the activity in question is precluded in the future. The Minister referred to budgets in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Issues arose in those budgets since the profits of banks are now not taxable until 2047. The question of the taxing of vulture funds was addressed in those budgets. This matter needs to be tackled urgently. It needs to be dealt with through legislation and this should be done before the recess.
