Other Questions: Social Welfare Benefits Eligibility (29 Nov 2017)

Aindrias Moynihan: The introduction of the telephone allowance was welcome, although it was introduced in a limited fashion because of the fuel allowance and living alone elements.

The capital gains tax relief exists for someone selling the...

Finance Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 Nov 2017)

Aindrias Moynihan: We are putting this proposal to support farming families. It is normal for a farm to see income going up and down from good years to bad years.

If we smooth it out, it will give certainty in a very volatile enterprise. The...
