The international sector coming into the country needs a contact point in the Revenue Commissioners and they had it, but it was a unit with two head of staff who could reply to its queries. That has been beefed up.

In regard to the local property tax, I am told there are 130 full-time and 90 temporary staff, which gives 220. Some of the temporary staff are being taken out and extra full-time staff are being put in. The ratio is 2:1. The cohort is going down now that it is becoming more a matter of administration rather than putting a new project in place, as was the case in the first instance..
