Does the Government have any proposals to amend the Finance Bill to remove the draconian tax that has been imposed in respect of solid fuels? In a couple of weeks, the price of a bag of coal is due to increase by €3.

To what legislation is the Deputy referring?

The Finance Bill.

That has already been enacted. Is the Deputy referring to next year's finance Bill?

Are there any proposals to change the position in this regard? The tax to which I refer is going to hurt vulnerable and elderly people.

Perhaps the Deputy might table a parliamentary question on the matter. We are dealing here with the Order of Business.

Perhaps the Ceann Comhairle might allow a Topical Issue debate on it.

We will consider it but we cannot make any promises.

The Taoiseach should provide an answer to my question now. This is not a laughing matter.

We are short of time. There are only two minutes remaining on the Order of Business and a further four or five Deputies are offering.

That was a 45 and the Deputy hit it straight over the bar.
