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

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

The Minister of State is being grossly unfair. Senator Higgins is asking for a report on what the impact of these proposals would be. It is very different. Again, I have to point out that so far today, the Minister of State has rejected every constructive proposal for a report. We should expect better than this type of engagement. Senator Higgins is asking for a report that could well elicit very important information on what we could do in this area and he is flatly rejecting a report. Again, I ask what he is afraid of in terms of the information that a report on these points would elicit. It is not good enough.
