Each year, my Department receives a large number of such submissions  from a wide range of groups and individuals. These are considered by the relevant officials in the context of the Budget process. However, the Deputy will be aware that it is not the practice of the Minister for Finance to discuss the details of measures which may or may not be under consideration as part of the Budget and Finance Bill.

The Deputy may also wish to note that the services of my Department are offered, on a confidential basis, to cost tax policy and other proposals for political parties. Guidelines recently issued as to the operation of this facility for Budget 2018.
