Okay, it is not his view. Let me go further. We are looking at this from the point of view of lost revenue to the State, and whether the Revenue Commissioners are collecting what ought to be collected. The officer is saying in his submission that he believes the reason he was stymied - in that he was called off his first investigation - why the second one, which was "the huge effort report", and the third one, which was the "addendum report", did not get the response that he thought they deserved was due to political interference. That is a very serious charge. Does Ms Feehily have any experience of political interference in the Revenue Commissioners?
