Financial Resolutions 2015 - Financial Resolution No. 3: General (Resumed) (15 Oct 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I heartily welcome the Minister's decision to provide money for farm safety. It would be churlish of me not to recognise what he has done. If the measure results in a few lives being saved, it will be money well spent. Anyone with experience of farming or industry knows that many practical steps can be taken to improve safety. While this is difficult on farms because of the many moving...

Financial Resolutions 2015 - Financial Resolution No. 3: General (Resumed) (15 Oct 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: That is more or less what we agreed previously, although €20 million was the most optimistic of the figures.

Financial Resolutions 2015 - Financial Resolution No. 3: General (Resumed) (15 Oct 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is not a significant amount in the greater scheme. As I stated, it would be useful if the Opposition were made privy to the breakdown in the Department's voted expenditure. The Minister made great play of tax concessions. The concession worth €10 million, which is spread across all farmers, is a technical adjustment, within European Union rules, of the VAT rebate for farmers.

Financial Resolutions 2015 - Financial Resolution No. 3: General (Resumed) (15 Oct 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I accept that, but this is merely a technical adjustment. I often wonder if the farmers see the money in these circumstances.

Financial Resolutions 2015 - Financial Resolution No. 3: General (Resumed) (15 Oct 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I suggested last year and I suggest again this year that it should be made obligatory to show on payment slips to non-registered farmers what the processor or mart is paying and, separately, what the State is paying in terms of a VAT rebate. This would allow farmers to identify from milk cheques and so forth where the 0.2% increase takes effect and the point at which they obtain the benefit....

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is that for one year?

Financial Resolutions 2015 - Financial Resolution No. 3: General (Resumed) (15 Oct 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: That figure does not appear in the summary, which provides a figure of only €5.9 million. I have not had a chance to examine the other document provided but I will do so. On the consanguinity rule that applies to leasing and so forth, it will be interesting to see if the deposit scheme and measures on leasing are included in the larger tax package.
