Tom Sheahan

Question:

132 Deputy Tom Sheahan asked the Minister for Finance if he will consider the introduction of stronger regulations, other than the production of a tax clearance certificate, on main contractors competing for Government contracts as many of these contractors owe millions to sub-contractors and suppliers, however, as the main contractors have paid their tax no one else can tender for contracts; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

I have no proposals of the kind referred to by the Deputy. However the Government is supporting a Bill concerning payments to sub-contractors in the Construction Sector, which is currently before the Seanad.
