That is a matter for the Deputy to debate with the Minister and a matter for the Finance Bill.
Deputy MacSharry asked about the NORA levy. The Government has decided that it will be used to fund climate action. The Minister, Deputy Bruton, will bring legislation forward shortly on this. If the Ceann Comhairle will allow me to answer Deputy Fitzmaurice's question, I will say that when a previous Minister for Finance introduced a carbon tax in budget 2012, he made provision for a double income tax relief for farmers to compensate for the increase. This relief will continue to apply.
