Brendan Ryan (Dublin Fingal, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I return briefly to the Minister's response to my points. He made no attempt to justify it other than to say that is the way it is. I cannot understand how it is justifiable. How can one tax a tax? Will he at least try to justify it? If one is to tax a tax and describe that as value added, I ask where is the value added to a tax?
