Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 April 2013
59. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 354 of 16 April 2013, if he make available a copy of the submission from a person (details supplied) stating their disapproval of a provision in the 2011 Finance Act, section 77, paragraphs 4 to 6. [19594/13]
View answerAs I stated in my previous reply to the Deputy on this matter I am aware of the issue raised. It has been under discussion between my officials, Revenue and the ODCE who are cooperating to implement an appropriate solution. Apart from direct contact between staff of the ODCE and my Department, the matter has also been noted in the 2011 Annual Report of the ODCE (page 15), available on their website. Therefore the issue, and the concerns of the former Director, are already in the public domain.
My Department does not have a record of a communication on this subject sent directly from Mr. Appleby to myself. Should the Deputy have any information that she wishes to make available to me I would be pleased to receive it.
