I welcome the Minister's comments as former Chair of the PAC. There is a 19% increase for training and development. Where has that taken place? Revenue's submission was that the 125 additional staff that would be employed within Revenue and would result in the recoupment of approximately €100 million to the tax payer. Can the Minister clarify, in terms of the training and development? Are certain Revenue staff members being upskilled and then new staff being employed at lower grades to replace them?
