Ms Feehily need not provide specific examples but is she of the view that State agencies are doing enough to ensure that they are meeting their tax liabilities? She made some comments, which are both helpful and alarming, in respect of the fact that State agencies do not use tax advisers. Before she arrived, we engaged in a discussion on the substantial sums of money with which some of these agencies deal, the various places in which they deposit them, etc. Given that SMEs use tax advisers, it is astonishing that large State agencies do not. I would appreciate Ms Feehily's general take on this matter.
