I thank Deputy Canney for raising this important matter, which is obviously a cause of concern for small businesses. I will ask the Minister for Finance to take a look at the issue and to revert to the Deputy directly. In the summer economic statement published today, we have indicated that approximately €1.4 billion will be available for new tax measures in the forthcoming budget. We will look at the matter in that context.
