Questions on Promised Legislation

I wish to ask the Taoiseach about the Finance Bill which I understand is due to be published tomorrow. I understand the Cabinet considered it today. One issue which has drawn quite an amount of attention is the increase in the rate of non-residential stamp duty from 2% to 6% and concerns about its impact on the farming community and farm transfers, in particular, within a family. Issues have been raised about consanguinity relief and also about the young trained farmer's exemption. Will the Taoiseach confirm whether the Bill to be published tomorrow will address any of these concerns and provide for changes to what was announced on budget day?
