- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Collection (9 May 2023)
Alan Dillon: From speaking to those who visit my constituency offices, a lot are grappling with the dual pressures of escalating debt and the rising cost of living, compounded by the inflationary environment we are in.

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Collection (9 May 2023)
Alan Dillon: I would make a point on some of the letters I have seen that have been issued by county sheriffs locally. They leave a lot to be desired and the language that is being used is challenging for those on the receiving end of them. I want to make that point in the House, while understanding that they are doing their best, in challenging times, to decrease their debt effectively. It only adds...
