128 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Minister for Finance the amount of extra revenue that can be generated by an increase of five cents on the pint. [14981/03]
I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the extra revenue that could be expected to be generated if there were an increase in excise duty of five cents, VAT inclusive, on the pint is estimated to be €41 million in a full year.
