Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

We have intervened across the board on a whole range of fronts to reduce costs, in the first instance, for people availing of public services, be it with hospital inpatient charges or the free book scheme coming in at primary level from September. Mortgage holders will also benefit from the measures we have introduced. However, we are looking at a taxation measure. In the past, the Deputy was supportive of a reorientation of taxation policy and reliefs in order to target them more.
