I know that I am hitting some sore points but that is okay.

I ask the Minister of State to tell us why the Government has backed the special assignee relief programme that rewards existing millionaire executives with up to €110,000 each in tax relief? The Government has set this scheme in place now. The former Minister for Finance, Mr. Michael Noonan, introduced it originally and the Government has backed it again. Fianna Fáil backs tax cuts for millionaires while people who are struggling to pay their energy bills and rents get nothing from this Government. That is the reality.
