I thank the Minister of State and the other Members for getting through the business relatively efficiently but there are a couple of small things I wish to mention. I had mentioned to the Minister that the IFA had been on to me with regard to thresholds and intergenerational relief for young farmers and so on. I know the Minister is aware of it. Equally, there are concerns around the tax appeals process and how it is being handled and changed. I know the Minister is also aware of that. I wanted to put these concerns on the record. Perhaps the Minister of State, Deputy D'Arcy, would bring them to the attention of the Minister.

I have a request that we might have a look at the issue of ambulances being used exclusively by the voluntary emergency services and also at the tax treatment and motor tax exemption for voluntary for ambulances used by the voluntary organisations such as the Order of Malta and other groups that do voluntary work.We might have a look at that as well. I just wanted to put my concerns on the record.
