Financial Resolutions 2014: No. 6: Income Tax (15 Oct 2013)

Lucinda Creighton: I support the sentiment and figures put on the record by Deputy Naughten. This measure is extremely ill-thought-out. I am not sure any serious thought was given to it. The Minister, Deputy Noonan, stated in his speech gold-plated health insurance packages would be the only health insurance packages to be affected by this measure. This is incredibly misleading. The vast majority of health...

Having said that, I must point out that...

Lucinda Creighton: I apologise. It is my iPad. If we are to show genuine respect and give life and reality to the constitutional provision in Article 40.3.3.0 then it would be bizarre that we would not consider to be an offence the intentional taking of human life.
