I appreciate that. I have been dealing with this issue for a couple of years with Department of Finance officials in the context of obtaining costings and so on. I want to extend my appreciation to them in that regard, and also to the Revenue officials in terms of their assistance in trying to drill down into this data. There must be a way of collecting this data. I heard what the Minister said. The Revenue Commissioners will be before the Committee on Budgetary Oversight in December and this is one of the issues we will be discussing with them. I take it at face value that the Minister is going to pursue this and that he will update us at a later date on where he is at in this regard. As stated, I will also discuss it with the Revenue Commissioners.
