Can the Revenue Commissioners give us here or subsequently details of the capital losses that have been built up in the Irish taxation system since the crash, specifically with regard to banking and finance and secondly in construction? I presume that at this point in time, with people returning to profit, some tax is now being paid. I am a long-standing proponent of a minimum effective tax system. The capital losses issue is detracting heavily from that. Will the Revenue Commissioners supply us with those details?
