Financial Resolutions 2018 - Financial Resolution No. 4: General (Resumed) (12 Oct 2017)

Robert Troy: The increase in stamp duty on commercial property seems to be the cornerstone of the budget. It should generate €376 million and that figure is based on property transactions worth €9.4 billion.

Other Questions: Irish Aviation Authority (11 Oct 2017)

Robert Troy: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for giving me the opportunity to contribute. This is bizarre and farcical. Last December, when we asked a similar question the Minister said he was embarrassed by the delay. We are now ten months further on and I would hate to see the Minister's level of embarrassment now. This is a total and utter failure on the Minister's part. Only two weeks ago I brought...
