I am conscious of my time. We have discussed the issue of the tax amnesty and that Revenue had a view, an instinct or a commentary on that. Did Revenue have a view, an instinct or a commentary on the closing down of that inquiry in 2004? In 2003, the very secret ledger was discovered, which Ms Feehily says was not so secret. It was made known to the powers that be in spring 2004, but by July 2004 the investigation was closed. That was a cause of comment in the Dáil at the time. If I recall correctly, Deputy Rabbitte questioned quite vigorously the closing of the inquiry. It was obviously a subject of commentary. Did Revenue have a view on it? Does Ms Feehily recall? I am asking her to stretch back into her-----
