Finance Bill, 1931—Second Stage.
Surely the Minister is going to give some explanation of Section 2, which proposes an amendment of Section 8 of the Finance Act of 1925; of Section 4 which introduces a new principle into the income t...
And is still in the courts. The cases that Sections 2 and 4 deal with are still in the courts.
And tramways?
And gasworks?
Before the Minister leaves that section would he explain how it is that so far as public utility companies are concerned—gasworks, waterworks, tramway undertaking, etc. —that the limit of 1934 is subs...
Can the Minister justify the exemptions?
The Minister and I think the House have been under the misapprehension that from year to year the Finance Bill is merely a redaction as it were, first of all of the financial statement that the Minist...
According to Deputy Lemass the average is 26/- in Kildare, and I am taking the figure at 27/- to 30/-, so that it cannot be contended that my figures are unduly favourable to the arguments I am puttin...

They have lost a lot of it recently.
What about the Irish investors who had their money in the Royal Mail Steampacket Company and in the Cunard Company? Where is that money now?
Will the Minister read the exact words in Article 43?
That is entirely wrong.
The argument is that the subject is entitled to the benefit of the law as it stands, and if he is found right, and if the legal advisers to the Revenue Commissioners are found wrong, he is not going t...
The Post Office.
Would the Minister bear in mind the point which I have raised in regard to Section 7—the assessment of income tax on the pensions of the widows of 1916?
Would the Minister not put them in the same category as those other pensions?
Adjournment Debate. - Closing of Co. Tipperary Creameries.
I hope the Minister is not trying to justify his attitude by introducing the White Star line.
