Financial Resolutions. - Resolution No. 3—Income-Tax.
Surely the Minister would be easier in his conscience if he put more on the surtax rather than collect the money in this way.
They do it by secret methods?
In other words, they are escaping?
If they do it, as Deputy Costello says, even though they are only poor people, do they still save themselves the payment of 6/6 to the State?
It is a great pity the Minister did not reduce the figure from £20,000 to £10,000.
Some of them are heavily in debt.
Financial Resolutions. - Housing (Amendment) Bill, 1940—Second Stage (resumed).
Is it the intention not to continue giving facilities for the building of houses under the Small Dwellings (Acquisition) Act?
That is serious.
The reason I asked the question is that we have at least 3,000 applications for houses in Cork. Are we to understand that grants under the Small Dwellings (Acquisition) Act will not be continued?
