Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. N. Ahern)

My Department is participating actively in the review of various tax relief schemes led by the Department of Finance. As the review involves an ongoing deliberative process which will support decisions to be taken by my colleague, the Minister for Finance, it would not be appropriate for me to comment further on this work.
