asked the Minister for Finance the estimated amount of revenue he expects to lose this year in Border counties as a result of the variation in the price of goods on either side of the Border.
Written Answers. - Loss of Revenue.

There is no estimate available of the amount of revenue that may be lost in Border counties this year as a result of the variation in the price of goods on either side of the Border. However the recent reduction in the tax on spirits has reduced considerably the price difference in the case of spirits and should minimise the revenue loss in this area.
