The Revenue Commissioners are acting on a day-by-day, case-by-case basis. As I said earlier, that includes examining returns but also site visits. There are other measures, including the dwelling house domestic extension scheme whereby all contractors had to be on the Revenue's website to legitimise the work for tax purposes and in respect of which 6,000 contractors registered. One can rest assured that they are legitimate. There are wider issues and as practices change and the building industry begins to grow again, there will certainly be a need for further action. I referred to the public consultation process we intend to carry out and I expect to receive a submission on that from my officials later this month, which means in the next two weeks.
