Brendan Kenneally (Fianna Fail)

I have some sympathy with Senator Quinn's comments on amendment No. 27 and perhaps there is some confusion due to the wording of the text. I always understood that, in the case of somebody going abroad, gifts of holidays, transport, etc. in excess of £500, as it was, or €650 now, would have to be declared. I was not aware that one could accept a gift up to that amount in cash and I am not sure if that is what is intended now. Perhaps the matter can be looked at again in the context of other legislation.
