I thank the Minister of putting that on the record. Much of that is the same information the Minister put on the record when I raised this issue with him in October 2013 in a parliamentary question. My question was not in regard to Revenue pursuing those whose information came to light as result of the whistle-blower giving the French authorities the information, but was about the fact we only have two personnel in the international tax division. Was that a factor in this country's decision not to pursue the entity - HSBC - through the courts, as other member states of the European Union are currently doing?
