Question:

98 Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will revoke Statutory Instrument No. 28 of 2012. [11216/12]

Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Brendan Howlin)

Statutory Instrument No. 28 of 2012 "Oireachtas (Allowances) (Certain Ministers of State) Order 2012 (S.I. 28 of 2012) Order 2012" replaces a provision in an earlier Order, Statutory Instrument No. 347 of 2011 "Oireachtas (Allowances) (Members and Holders of Parliamentary and Certain Ministerial Offices) Order 2011", which provides for the payment of a taxable allowance to two named Ministers of State who regularly attend Cabinet meetings.

I have no plans to revoke Statutory Instrument No. 28 of 2012.
