Michael Noonan: As initiated, the section required an individual to be unemployed for a period of 15 months before starting his or her own business. While this is the definition of long-term unemployment in the Social Welfare Acts, in practice a period of 12 months is generally applied. To be in keeping with initiatives by the Department of Social Protection on activating the long-term unemployed, it is...

Michael Noonan: It is difficult to see how a reputable contractor would fail to provide the necessary information to the Revenue to enable a home owner make a claim. The contractor would destroy his own business, as well as incurring penalties. The claim is made once payment is made, not when the work is finished. Once the Revenue has the electronic system up from early January, the householder can see at...

Michael Noonan: My assumption is that contractor No.1 registers and enters all the data required by Revenue while contractor No. 2 registers and does the same.

We rely on the Revenue to ensure its...

Michael Noonan: The triggering event must be the expenditure of €5,000. If someone were to spend €2,500 in 2014 and a further €3,000 in 2015, the scheme would be triggered in 2015, as the €5,000 threshold would then be exceeded, at which point he or she could claim on the €2,500 spent in 2014. That is how it will work.

Michael Noonan: There is very little in the difference between seven and ten working days and, in the circumstances, I can accept the amendment.
