Maurice Quinlivan TD contacted Polio Survivors Ireland to enquire if we had a pre-budget submission. We explained that we did not, but that we would support the budgetary asks of DFI and NAI, however we did ask that the issue of charities being unable to claim back VAT on purchases could be considered as this is a huge financial burden on charities limited funding.
