Tax Reliefs
Dail Éireann — 2021-06-17
============================================================

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

I am told, as I said, that it is not intended to offer an extension. However, there is a refund capability. Many people have opted for that but others have not. The Deputy's constituent might be informed of that as one option.
The proposal implied in the Deputy's question about having new more flexible TaxSaver supports is a good one. Post pandemic, we will likely be in a situation where people are commuting in different ways in hybrid schemes where people are not all commuting five days a week where the real benefits of a TaxSaver discounted ticket would apply. That offers the best prospect for the Deputy's constituent and others as a way of meeting possibly the new and different arrangements in the autumn, in the winter and next year, when we expect people coming back to work but not necessarily in the same way that they did prior to the pandemic.
