Finance Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) (13 Mar 2013)

Denis Naughten: I seek clarification on amendment No. 12a. Deputy Michelle Mulherin has been pushing the issue and is to be commended. It is a useful amendment. Why is the amendment structured in this way, in contrast to the amendment I submitted? The objective behind it is to ensure that if Ireland West Airport wanted to build, for example, a hangar to dismantle end-of-life aircraft, it could do so and...

That proposal has a great deal of merit. The Department of...

Finance Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) (13 Mar 2013)
