With all due respect to Senator Mansergh, at meetings I have attended it was suggested that the way to rectify this wrong is through an amendment to the Finance Bill.

Will the Minister give a commitment that he will examine this matter seriously and seek to rectify the wrong in the context of next year's Finance Bill? A total of 14 Oireachtas Members——
