Tax treatment of players’ funds
Following partisan exchanges, Senator O’Neill asks that Revenue treat the GAA contribution to the hurling finalists’ holiday funds sympathetically and impose no tax burden on players.
What about the Fine Gael tent at Punchestown? I understand it is still open.

We are not debating that issue. Does Senator O'Neill have a question on the Order of Business?

Yes. My question to the Leader relates to the revenues arising from the replay of the All-Ireland hurling final. I welcome the GAA's decision to make a contribution to both teams' holiday funds. These players provide entertainment to many thousands of people.

Yes, it is. I am asking that the Revenue Commissioners deal with this contribution in the spirit in which it is being given. There should be no tax implications for players arising from it.
