As we sit here today, Mr. Cody still cannot give us a figure. He said that in September 2016 the Revenue Commissioners would have been aware that they would have to come up with this figure. I understand it is complex and that the Revenue Commissioners must engage with outside stakeholders and people in the State, but the figure is still not established. Can he give me a date for that, because I cannot get a date for when the account will be established? Given that it is a work in progress, and notwithstanding that I am not convinced that it should take as long as it is taking, when will Mr. Cody determine how much money will have to be put into the account? Is it weeks or months?
