Yes, but it refers to taxes applicable to certain allowances and expenses payments to Garda members between 2009 and 2011. That is very current. This is no legacy issue from the foundation of the force. What change happened so that from 2009 onwards the allowances were taken into account? Did the Revenue take a benign view and not go back prior to 2009? What grade was involved? The Commissioner spoke about inspectors going around the country. There must be a breakdown of this allowance which the Commissioner can make available to the committee, because it cannot be in the report without his having a detailed note on it. How much did interest and penalties come to?
