Finance Bill 2020: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2020-12-11
============================================================

Sean Fleming (FF), Laois-Offaly

By way of clarification, I listened closely to everything Senator Mullen said. From what I understand, he had a recommendation that was ruled out of order. The recommendation was effectively to insert a new section between sections 3 and 4. Section 4 is about home sharing host allowances in respect of the HSE providing a tax allowance for people looking after people in their houses so it is not connected to anything we have discussed to date. The contribution we heard is certainly nothing to do with section 4. It was in respect of a recommendation that was ruled out of order, which involved a new section, but I will take on board everything the Senator said. That is all I can say.
