Ms Josephine Feehily:

Yes. Once the decision was made that we were doing it, it sort of just went away. We are the tax administration and it is very common for the tax administration in other countries to collect local charges for redistribution. A number of years ago, my opposite number in Denmark told me they abolished a whole range of collection agencies in local authorities and gave all the stuff to the central tax and customs authority as an efficiency measure or a kind of shared service. No, I did not ask "Why me, Lord?" or anything like that.
