Those towns do not have bus services and we have...

Other Questions: Anti-Social Behaviour (19 Oct 2017)

Written Answers — Department of Finance: Tax Code (23 Nov 2022)

For clarity, I did not make any changes in Budget 2023 to existing benefit-in-kind (BIK) provisions that would negatively impact on the application of benefit-in-kind for workers. Rather, I amended two specific measures to further enhance the BIK treatment applicable to employees. Firstly, the relief provided for in section 112B...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Feb 2018)

Ms Lauren Reynolds: I completely agree. Parents are very much in the dark because media have come on so much in our generation, which means we were thrown into the deep end. When growing up one is taught and given guidelines on everything. Someone is not given a bike and just told to cycle it. He or she is taught how to do so. One is taught languages and subjects but with social media,...
