Seanad debates

Wednesday, 4 December 2002

With regard to the first-time buyer's grant, I welcome the increase in mortgage tax relief. I am glad there is a benefit, particularly for young people attempting to provide a home for themselves. I welcome the increased duty on alcopops as there has been a lot of discussion on alcohol in the Seanad in the last fortnight. While the Minister has hit some of the old reliables, he has been careful about certain issues. Unleaded petrol is left at the same rate and, while there is an increase on diesel, the Minister has been careful about the drinks industry. The humble pint is the same price.
