John V. Farrelly
Ceist:163 Mr. Farrelly asked the Minister for Finance the reason a person on a FÁS scheme is being charged tax at the Z rate of 40 per cent for work he does while not on the scheme; his views on whether this is discouraging for someone trying to re-enter the workforce; if he would be entitled to a rebate in view of the fact he feels he should be on the 24 per cent rate; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
