	Carlow Nationalist: Budget increase discrimination against farmers says IFA chief
		Parlon accused the Government of deliberately wrecking the consensus of the PPF by increasing the discrimination against farmers and the self employed.
		Parlon said that the restructuing of self employed PRSI, involving the reduction in the PRSI rate to 3% and the removal of the income contribution ceiling, will result in winners and losers, but clearly departs from the principle that as contributory benefits are not linked to income, then contribution rates should be capped.
		Parlon welcomed the reduction in the period over which capital expenditure on plant and machinery may be written off from seven years down to five years.

	The Kingdom: Public buildings mast scheme will spark legitimate protests
		Minister of State Tom Parlon is reported to be anxious to appoint a firm of consultants to assess the suitability of buildings owned and managed by the State for a scheme similar to that which saw masts erected at garda stations throughout the country a few short years ago.
		The aim of Parlon’s "Transforming State Assets" plan is to extract increased value from these buildings for the benefit of the State but it is reasonable to assume that the project will meet with a wall of public resistance, particularly given repeated health concerns surrounding telecommunications masts.
		Tom Parlon has stressed that any mobile phone company allocated a licence to use State property will be required to ensure full compliance with guidelines on emissions exposure limits.

		It is hardly surprising that Parlon is the preference of many farmers, gathering more than 37% of their first preference vote.

		Nevertheless, Parlon was considered to have sold the farmers' case well: "He realised that he had communications skills.

		Tom recently used the following words to the House "That is why we have been in Government for 18 of the last 20 years." That was FF Tom, not the PDs.

		PD councillor Oliver Clery said it may be the case that following the change of Government, Tom Parlon no longer had responsibility for the scheme.
		However, Mayor Tom Cunningham said inviting Tom Parlon for a meeting the next time he was in Waterford would be a better idea, in addition to maintaining correspondence with his office.

	Sinn Féin: Morgan - Right wing posturing from out-of-touch Parlon pathetic
		Sinn Féin spokesperson on Housing Arthur Morgan has described Tom Parlon's remarks at the Parnell Summer School in support of property speculators as "right wing posturing" designed to woo his PD colleagues in advance of a leadership battle between himself and Michael McDowell when Mary Harney steps down.
		His right wing posturing aimed at wooing his PD colleagues in advance of a battle with McDowell for the leadership of the far right minority party is pathetic.
		If he thinks Parnell and Davitt spent the long years of the land war struggling to create a state in which the rights of profiteers would be so inflated as to deprive ordinary people of housing it is time he re-read the history of that period.
