I am sure they would not want to go near a property tax now. If Revenue had collected the outstanding taxes, they might not have gone near the tax. I do not want Ms Feehily to comment on that, but I would like her to address the question of efficiently collecting and establishing the taxes due, including the appeals, in order that there is a little write-off at the other end. That requires the type of investment she outlined where Revenue invests a small amount to generate a significant collection figure.
