Aside from that, Macra na Feirme has engaged, with the support of FBD, a land mobility officer and that person's deliberations should be fed into the review by the Revenue Commissioners.

I thank the Minister for this exchange. We eventually got to the nuts and bolts of the budgetary position and while we as a committee may not get to make a further submission to the Minister, all members, Opposition and Government, now have an opportunity to feed into the process. It could be the case that the Opposition members are being better armed for the debate after the announcement of the budget. At least we know the figures and the general position the Minister is taking with regard to schemes and natural savings. We appreciate knowing that. If we had this exchange a fortnight earlier it would have helped us and we could have come back to this issue but because of various think-ins and other matters we had to defer it until this morning which was unfortunate. I thank the members for their input. Deputy Ferris is indicating and I will allow him in if he will be very brief.
