Other Questions. - National Stadium.
Is the Minister aware of any tax advantages attaching to the generous offer of £50 million to the donor, Mr. J. P. McManus, who is a tax exile?
I appeal to the Minister to consider Deputy Allen's suggestion of an all-party committee which would discuss the ramifications of this major development because we are now talking about expenditure of...
The Minister made reference to affordable housing, which is not a tourism issue. Is he aware that last year there were only 40 houses built under the affordable housing scheme?
Just 40 houses.

Private Members' Business. - Tobacco (Health Promotion and Protection) (Amendment) Bill, 1999: Second Stage (Resumed).
I compliment Deputy Shatter on the Bill and on his excellent report. Of 1,000 people aged 20 years who take up smoking and continue smoking for their adult lives, at least 250 will die from smoking re...
Written Answers. - Tourism Development.
