There has to be a rethink, perhaps for 2015. I refer to the damage caused by the decision not to make it as simple as possible to allow a person go online and make a payment.

I refer to another point Ms Feehily made about cheque payments. If the Revenue Commissioners receive a cheque dated 1 January - notwithstanding the fact that that means very little - sending it in directly rather than waiting until the last week of December to send it is perhaps betraying the trust the people have in the Revenue Commissioners, which has an extraordinarily good reputation, by simply ignoring their request to make the payment it on 1 January.
