There is a budget available for consultancy for committees. We might possibly need a senior taxation consultant from some establishment who is very au faitwith this and can inform and educate this committee on how we need to deal with those we are meeting. The level of taxation expertise required does not exist anywhere in the Oireachtas. It is not its function. We will have to use the consultancy budget, with the agreement from the commission, to allow us to get proper professional advice for that situation. That is a good suggestion.
