Marc MacSharry (Fianna Fail)

While the Minister of State may not be able to accept the recommendation, this issue deserves further investigation because certain individuals make a significant financial contribution to the country, even though they may not pay income tax directly. If it is possible through the look-back clause to take account of the days that these people can or cannot spend here, it may be worthwhile. I call on the Minister to examine this area in the weeks and months ahead.
