The proposed 80% windfall capital gains tax to which the Deputy refers is being considered as part of the NAMA legislation and it will be discussed at Report Stage of the Bill.

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