Investment of the National Pensions Reserve Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2009: Committee Stage
4:00 pm
Eoghan Harris (Independent)
Why not develop an income tax system for farmers which would prevent abuse of the education and student maintenance grant schemes? Why did the taxpayer have to pay for a series of meat scandals? Farmers are not an invincible or pure and virtuous class. They have the same responsibility to pay taxes as the rest of us.
