Finance (Covid-19 and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-07-13
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

It is nice to see the Minister of State again. It is clear what is going on here. There is a well co-ordinated effort by Government Senators to ensure we do not get to talk about the tax sweetheart deal in section 15. It is a shameful deal to exempt cuckoo funds, investor funds and vulture funds from tax. It means that first-time buyers will be disadvantaged and ridiculous leasing deals, whereby the council does not get to own anything, will be concluded.
