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

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

I move recommendation No. 9:
In page 48, between lines 8 and 9, to insert the following:
"(b) In section 46(1)(ca) by substituting "paragraphs 3(1) to (3), 7, 8, 11, 12, 13(3) and 13B(1) to (3)" for "paragraphs 7(a), 7A and 12", and".
This topic has had a good airing. We welcome the reduction in VAT but we are pointing to the fact there has not been a corresponding decrease in VAT at the 13.5% level. This has been raised by others in the Chamber. It is a simple amendment.
