- Tax Collection. (5 Oct 2005)
Joan Burton: Has the Department attempted to quantify the cost of tax fraud in the building industry, especially in regard to RCT, but also the knock-on consequences for PRSI to which this is intimately linked?

We see a great number of what can only be described as mini tanks driving around areas in Dublin 4 where the roads, or their surfaces at any rate, would be in a much better state than those of the farm roads in Laoighis-Offaly. Has the Government undertaken a study on how we might take a more...
