I am sorry for interrupting but such a letter would totally defeat what I call the fair play in terms of dealing with people who are the taxpayers of Ireland, whether they are from the farming community or another community. All we are asking is that when a test case is proposed and taken place surely be to God it is only right, fair, honest and proper to allow procedures to take place. For Revenue to go terrorising people again is wrong. Revenue went at this matter in the wrong way in the first instance. With respect, instead of Revenue learning from its mistakes it proposes to put its shoe in this matter again in an improper fashion. The point that has been made today by members has been made in an honest manner. For God's sake, I ask Revenue to please allow the test case to go ahead and not to put its size nine shoes in it. That is all that we ask.
