I am making one net point. The logical consequence of the legislation is that when Revenue seeks payment by direct debit, people will think that they can pay one twelfth of their liability each month, but if the local authorities increase the total amount by 15%, the Revenue will be taking that extra money out of people's account by way of direct debit. Based on the legislation, the Revenue can inform the employers or their pension providers of the increased amount without consent or prior approval. We have had about three interruptions from that part of the room.
