I want to wrap up the meeting. We are not disposing of the chapter today because we are meeting with some multinationals. We will do so in due course. The witnesses' evidence has been very good, useful and helpful. We remarked that the amount of information they will have to send on to us after today is much less than after many other meetings when other groups have come before us. The witnesses seemed to have most of their information available when we asked them questions. With other people, we have a list of 20 questions that are unanswered on a day so it is nice to get most of our questions answered today. I say that by way of contrast.

On behalf of the committee, I thank our witnesses from the Revenue Commissioners, the Department of Finance and the Comptroller and Auditor General for coming before us today. We will adjourn the meeting until 9 a.m. on Thursday, 7 December 2017, when we will meet with representatives from the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection with regard to the 2016 report of the Comptroller and Auditor General as it relates to regulatory of social welfare payments, the management of social welfare overpayments and Departmental reviews of social welfare schemes as well as some matters relating to the social welfare appeals process. In that context, we will also look at, but not sign off on, the Social Insurance Fund 2016 and the social protection Vote.
