130 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Finance the identity of the members of staff of his Department who are members of the tax strategy group; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1407/00]
131 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Finance the reason staff in his Department are represented on the tax strategy group; the number of person hours spent by them on group matters; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1406/00]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 130 and 131 together.
The tax strategy group – TSG – was set up in 1993 with the purpose of examining tax issues in the run up to each year's budget and Finance Bill. The group's remit was subsequently extended to cover social welfare issues, particularly in the context of the interaction between the tax and social welfare systems.
