asked the Minister for Finance if he is aware that motor hackney car owners have suffered very serious loss of business owing to the competition of buses, and if he will have inquiries made with a view to considering the necessity for reducing the present tax charged them, in view of their changed circumstances.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - MOTOR HACKNEY CAR OWNERS.
There is no information in my Department which would indicate the correctness or otherwise of the statement in the first part of the question, and I regret that I cannot see my way to undertake inquiries of the kind the Deputy suggests. I am prepared, however, to consider any representations that may be made to me by the Deputy in this matter.
