A slice of life in the Dáil today.
My party was accused by the Minister for Justice in his favourite Sunday comic, of having what he described as "crazy tax policies".
- Mr Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin, Sinn Féin
Does Sinn Féin have tax policies?
- The Minister for Defence, Mr O'Dea
Of course, you Deputy, write for the same comic or have done. . . We still do not know the cost of many of these scams.
- Mr Ó Caoláin, referring to the costs of tax reliefs for developers and speculators
I agree with what the Deputy says about the scams. I am all for stopping scams North and South . . . Eliminating scams in cigarettes, petrol and booze would all help the national Exchequer.
- the Taoiseach, Mr Ahern
