Written answers

Minister for Finance

Finance (No. 2) Act 2008 facilitated the introduction of a car parking levy in urban areas. The enabling of the measure would require a Ministerial Order. Such an Order has not been made to date and consequently there has been no revenue collected nor any employees levied.
