John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)

I thank Senator Donohoe for acknowledging the response of the Minister for Finance who considers the proposal is worthy of consideration, even if he is not prepared to accept it in its current form. He will be asking his officials to consider it in the context of a range of incentives to encourage and support innovation and the knowledge economy.

Recommendation, by leave, withdrawn.

Recommendations 4 and 5 not moved.
