Financial Provisions (Covid-19) (No. 2) Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2020-07-30
============================================================

Michael D'Arcy (FG), Agricultural Panel

We have the highest minimum wage and one third of all workers in the State pay zero income tax. One would imagine that there was nothing in respect of that. It is appropriate that one third of workers do not pay income tax and it is because we have the most progressive income tax system in the OECD.
