‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Oil Exploration Programme. Taxation problems for offshore services
Summary
Reynolds sought action to clarify taxation and ease problems facing the Irish offshore service industry. The Minister said discussions were under way with the industry.
Will the Minister agree that the Irish offshore service industry has real problems and need clarification in regard to taxation? There was no reference to that in the Government's recent announcement. Does the Minister intend to take any action to alleviate the problems so that that industry can get a greater share of the development that hopefully will take place?
Comment on this
That is a separate question. Discussions are taking place between the Department and the Irish offshore industry, as I am sure the former Minister is aware.
