Financial Resolution No. 4: Excise (Vehicle Registration Tax) (7 Dec 2010)

John O'Donoghue: I greatly welcome the Government's decision to reduce the travel tax for international flights to €3. While there is no hard evidence to show this measure will result in an increase in the number of visitors to the country, there is, nevertheless, a perception that this is the case. The air travel tax, allied to airport charges, has been advocated by the chief executive of Ryanair as one...

John O'Donoghue: -----find themselves unemployed and who have little prospect of working in the construction industry in this country in the foreseeable future.

Financial Resolution No. 23: Income Tax - Artists' Exemption (7 Dec 2010)
