I propose to take Questions Nos. 288 to 292, inclusive, together.

The proposed 80% windfall tax to which the Deputy refers is being considered as part of the NAMA legislation and it will be discussed on Committee Stage of the Bill. The analysis of the Commission on Taxation will help inform my consideration of the measure.

However, it is not customary for the Minister of Finance to comment on the specific details of tax changes prior to publication of the legislation.
