When we ask how much tax is forgone on that relief, which has fuelled the vulture funds' grab of Irish property, we cannot get an answer. Does the Minister not consider that the public and the committee at least deserve an answer on how much tax is being forgone on section 110? While the Minister does not agree with a financial transactions tax, can he provide an answer as to how much revenue would be generated if one were imposed? Can he examine section 481 tax relief for example? While I stress the need for a lot more investment in film, Mel Gibson is suing the producers of a film made in this country-----
