This kind of matter would be dealt with if SIPO believed there were activity under way that was not being reported. In 2017, it launched three investigations in this regard. It is currently up to the commission to conduct its own inquiry and assess complaints. I have given the Deputy the information on what has been caused in this regard. There are seven investigations under way, and a further 39 are under way in regard to non-compliance with provisions on tax compliance. Therefore, it is a matter that is handled by the commission.
