97 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for Finance the efforts and negotiations, if any, which have taken place in his Department in relation to the declaration of County Leitrim as a tax-designated area for tourism projects. [4167/97]
99 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for Finance if he will make provision in the Finance Bill for the inclusion of County Leitrim as a tax designated area. [4180/97]
I propose to answer Questions Nos. 97 and 99 together.
There has been no instance of designating a whole county for any tax incentive purposes and I do not propose to create a precedent in this area.
