Tax Exemptions
Seanad Éireann — 2026-06-23
============================================================

Robbie Gallagher (FF), Labour Panel

I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive response. I fully appreciate that this is a matter for the Minister for Finance, but where would we in this country be without volunteers? Organisations such as the Crocus Cancer Support Centre in Monaghan and blood bikes do fantastic and invaluable work. All the work they do is done by volunteers. If the Government were to introduce a road tax exemption for those vehicles, it would be a small token of appreciation on behalf of the State for the excellent work they do. I sincerely hope the Minister for Finance will take this on board in his deliberations when he is considering his budget, which will be delivered in October this year.
