Written Answers. - Tax Reliefs.
As the Deputy is aware, the EU Commission decided on 22 December 1999 to close the legal proceedings initiated by it on 9 February 1999 in respect of the availability of the double rent and rates reliefs in the Custom House Docks area in Dublin. The implementation of the Commission's decision will be dealt with in this year's Finance Bill as outlined by me to the Dail on the Second Stage of the Bill on 22 February.
