Fine Gael TD John O’Mahony said yesterday (Thursday ) that he had got conformation from the Minister for Finance, Michael Noonan, that people on group water schemes would also be able to benefit from the tax relief, announced during this week’s Budget, against their water charges.
Dep O’Mahony told the Mayo Advertiser: “These anomalies started popping up after the announcement in the Budget and I started looking to get answers on it soon afterwards. The Minister has now confirmed to me that those who are on group water schemes will also be able to claim the tax relief and the full details will be in the Finance Bill which will be announced next Thursday in the Dáil.”
