I raised this issue last week with the Tánaiste but I believe it merits being raised here again. It relates to changes in benefit-in-kind in the new year. In January, the benefit-in-kind rate will increase from 6% to 9%, which means certain car owners will have to pay thousands of euro more to do their jobs. I am not just talking about private employers and employees here. I am speaking about people in medical device companies, nurses and others doing very important work. When the Minister assumes his new role in the new year, I hope he can give this issue the proper scrutiny it deserves.
