Peter Mathews: I am just making the point that people in that age group,18 to 25 years, will have a lot going on in their lives. They give the form to the letting agent because they are not the owner. It then depends on the letting agent whether they will give it to the landlord. I am just asking the Revenue to be aware of this situation.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue (29 May 2013)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue (29 May 2013)
Peter Mathews: Do I? On Deputy Pearse Doherty's point, the Revenue is responsible for administering the taxation system and that the Government is responsible for introducing legislation and drawing up policy. In the context of the fiscal vulnerability of individuals, there appears to be a difference between the ability of the Revenue to intrude upon the financial affairs and resources of individuals and...

These constituents object to the recent decision by the Government to increase the pupil-teacher ratio in selected schools, which they feel have been singled out. They are...
- Topical Issue Debate: Fee Paying Schools (30 May 2013)
Peter Mathews: I want to go over the broad statistical parameters. There are 55 fee-paying schools, comprising 32 Roman Catholic, 20 Protestant, two interdenominational and one Jewish.
