We were talking about the figures. I have never requested the figures from Revenue or from the Minister. I will table a parliamentary question this evening and look for the figures over the last number of years. However, when we asked for the figures from Revenue or the Department - I am not sure which official gave the figures - we were given the figures for 2013 freely and openly. This suggested there were only 14 appeals. I am not sure if that is the case year-on-year or if that was just a low year. However, I assume, given the quantum of money that is being disputed, that these are not people appealing the local property tax of €200 or so being levied by the Department. These are individuals who have a serious amount of money at risk if the appeal fails. Is this not the case? It is not a huge amount of individuals appealing on a year-on-year basis.
