Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (22 Nov 2023)

Gerald Nash: I support Deputy Shortall's proposition. We have a progressive tax system, which has been defended under successive Administrations even in the toughest of times.

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (22 Nov 2023)
