I thank all the witnesses for their attendance. I want to have a look at the Revenue Commissioners' headline results for 2016 as given in the three-page document that summarises the yields and various interventions and puts numbers behind the majority of them. In respect of audit compliance, there have been about 537,000 interventions. The average yield, if we were to be as crude as that, seems to be falling. In 2015 it was €1,391 and it has gone down to €1,033. Does that include desktop queries and interventions of that nature? How does Mr. Cody feel the resources Revenue is putting in compare with the yields? Would it be a concern that the yield is falling?
