Ms Feehily sent us a letter on 1 May which referred to Revenue reviewing the details of its approach in the light of findings and recommendations, if any, from this committee. That puts the ball in our court to some extent. Ms Feehily referred to figures for companies between €1 million and €10 million. Will Ms. Feehily supply those figures to us because we have not seen them?

In the context of this committee making a recommendation, I would appreciate it if Revenue could do up a paper on the significance of the Waterford case study. Ms Feehily has said it is not a question of straightforward extrapolation because that would not be completely valid. However, a paper would be helpful because I would not like us to make a recommendation based on an over-reading or, indeed, an under-reading of the Waterford case.
