Book of Estimates 2004: Statements.

 

However, the Minister has stopped this programme apparently because outside forces, rather than inside forces, have agreed to it. I would like Members of the Opposition to speak out about this matter. It is difficult for Fine Gael to advocate a reduction in taxes because it has the Labour Party on its back and when one has a monkey like that on one's back, it is very difficult to escape from it. However, it would be refreshing if Opposition Members advocated a reduction in tax. There is nothing immoral about it. It might create more revenue in the form of capital gains tax.
