Sir, - It is hard to conceive of a more callous, divisive measure than to strip a section of the population - those who work in the home and in the voluntary sector - of their personal tax allowances and carve them up among the rest of the adult population. For that is precisely what is proposed under this individualisation concept.
It is a shameful measure and must, following the resignation of the Minister for Finance, be fully reversed. - Yours, etc.,
John Gilsenan, Leinster Lawn, Clonskeagh, Dublin 14.
