Part of the reason I asked the question is that about a year ago I did some work examining the extent of white collar crime in Ireland, which would be more than what would relate to Ms Feehily's work, and it was disturbing in the sense that the number of prosecutions in that area were declining. I wonder about the approach of the Revenue Commissioners towards seeking a prosecution. From what Ms Feehily said earlier, it would send information to the Director of Public Prosecutions, DPP, if there was to be and, ultimately, it would be the DPP's decision rather than Revenue's decision as to whether a prosecution could take place. How many cases like that per year would Revenue send to the DPP?
