James Bannon (Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister of State. We have had disagreements during the debate on the Bill. It is a little rich to expect people to pay extra taxes when we do not crack down on tax evaders. I am delighted the Minister of State has indicated that he will do all in his power to crack down on tax evaders. Law which allows people to evade paying tax is bad law.

I thank the Minister of State for coming to the Seanad and I hope to see legislation in the not too distant future to provide for all road users. We have passed the Motor Vehicle (Duties and Licences) Bill but other road users, such as cyclists and pedestrians, must be catered for. I hope they will be facilitated in a future Bill.
