Mortgage Interest Relief Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (8 Feb 2023)

Mairéad Farrell: The ECB hiked interest rates four times in 2022. It has already hiked rates this year and it is still only February.

The Minister will be aware, and I am sure that people tell him in his clinics, in...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Report of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Feb 2023)

Mairéad Farrell: Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe as teacht os comhair an choiste. My first question is for Mr. Brady but all the delegates could probably answer it.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Report of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Feb 2023)

Mairéad Farrell: I have a different question on what Mr. Brady said about making things simplistic in the context of the wage support schemes and things like that. One of the issues raised with me a bit has concerned the temporary business energy support scheme, TBESS, and people finding it difficult. People have come to me - butchers in particular, but this could be something that is across the board...
