Finance (No. 2) Bill 2008 (Certified Money Bill): Committee and Remaining Stages
2:00 pm
Nicky McFadden (Fine Gael)
I fully support Senator Doherty's recommendation, especially regarding the 1% levy. We have a small business and I must say that it is impossible for people to make ends meet. There have been increases in energy costs and commercial rates, and people just do not have the same spending power as before. I admit that I am one of those desperate shoppers and the disparity in high street shop prices on either side of the Border is incredible.
