I accept the Minister'sbona fides and commitment to the issue and that is very good to hear. If for some unknown reason the report is further delayed, would the Minister assist members by publishing the submissions that were made to the report? Submissions were made by various interested parties with views on the issue. Perhaps the Minister could arrange with his Cabinet colleagues to have that information published in order that members can get a sense of who the lobby and interest groups are that, for whatever reason, seem determined to resist very necessary change. I am sure the Minister's officials in the Department of Finance and the Revenue Commissioners have told him the kind of loss this is to our PRSI system.
