Ms Josephine Feehily:
Yes. The changes are marginal. The most significant point is the interplay with the universal social charge, because that is a significant change if one goes back to 2008 when it was not in place. That is the reason we distinguish between income tax only and income tax with USC. The USC reaches down deeper into the income cohorts than income tax. If one was looking for a trend, the most significant trend would be the reaching down of the universal social charge. We will get a table, copy it and forward it to the committee. As the Deputy will see, there are many numbers in it.
