Michael Joe Cosgrave
Question:157 Mr. Cosgrave asked the Minister for Finance if he will make special provision within his forthcoming budget for the one-off payment to Fingal County Council of a sum which will allow them to write off the outstanding water charges for each of the years from 1994 to date in 1997 in view of the great level of disaffection of the community with Government both local and national and in view of revenue buoyancy; and if he will introduce a special tax relief measure whereby they may recover the value of the payment as tax credits over the next three years as a gesture to those who paid these charges.
