Last week, we continued our engagement with members of Dáil Éireann on this year’s Pre-Budget 2027 Submission. On Wednesday, we met Albert Dolan TD to discuss our proposals. Albert is a Chartered Accountant and is a member of several Oireachtas committees, including the Committee on Public Accounts. We had a wide-ranging discussion on various aspects of this year’s submission, and we are very grateful to Mr Dolan for taking the time to join us on Pearse Street.
Later in the week, the team visited Leinster House to meet with Shay Brennan TD. Shay is a Chartered Accountant and a member of several Oireachtas committees, including the Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation. That committee, whose membership includes Edward Timmins TD (also a Chartered Accountant), was responsible for producing the report following the pre-legislative scrutiny of the Finance (Tax Appeals and Fiscal Responsibility) Bill 2025, which included a recommendation to maintain the status quo on taxpayers’ right to request private hearings.
We will be continuing our engagement with officials throughout the summer, including a meeting with Tánaiste Simon Harris TD later in the summer. As always, we will be keeping you updated here.
