Financial Provisions (Covid-19) (No. 2) Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-29
============================================================

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

I agree with everything Deputy Boyd Barrett said. Because we will not deal with it when discussing the Bill this evening, I put forward an idea that we should convene tomorrow in some type of forum or representative group that could discuss this issue. It is a burning question that needs to be resolved. I believe we can resolve it if there is willingness. My concern is, and I am by far the person not to restrict a debate, but there are very important amendments, such as on reducing VAT rates for the tourism sector, that will not be voted on or debated if we continue at this pace.
