Kerry Co-op tax test case

Summary

Danny Healy-Rae asks the Taoiseach to intervene after Revenue allegedly stalled a promised test case for Kerry Co-op shareholders. The Taoiseach replies only that there is no promised legislation.

Many months ago, Kerry Co-op shareholders got savage bills from the Revenue Commissioners. Subsequently, the Revenue Commissioners came before the Oireachtas agriculture committee and gave an undertaking to facilitate a test case. The shareholders are ready and have a client ready to go forward for a test case but the Revenue Commissioners are stalling the deal and are not responding or facilitating the case. Will the Taoiseach ask the Revenue Commissioners what is wrong and respond to the members or the Oireachtas committee as to what is the delay?
