Willie Penrose
Ceist:128. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Finance the reason his Department did not pursue positive steps to ensure that the clause of the VAT system engaged by penalty processors was immediately halted, in the context of the recent release of documents to a media organisation (details supplied) which confirmed that the Revenue Commissioners briefed his Department regarding their concerns in January 2016; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a prominent poultry farmer who refused to participate in the scheme has been effectively closed down with the total loss of business; when the anti-avoidance measures to deal with this issue in budget 2016 will be implemented; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
