Fair deal legislation

Summary

Deputy Collins asked when legislation would be introduced to replace the fair deal scheme, which he said penalised farmers and business families. The Tánaiste said it was likely to be on the autumn schedule after the summer recess.

The previous Government promised and failed to deliver a new fair deal Bill. Farmers and business families are being penalised due to the current fair deal scheme. Will the Government address the shockingly unfair deal? When will it introduce legislation on a new fair deal?

I believe that legislation will be on the autumn schedule, when we come back in September.
