I will touch on a very small point raised last week related to VAT on food supplements. I appreciate that nobody else has covered it, but we have been considering it as a committee. Most members have highlighted it both here and in the Seanad and the Dáil. I appreciate the independence of the Revenue Commissioners. The Minister took the relevant Bill on Committee Stage, but the Minister of State, Deputy D'Arcy, took the final part of the debate on Report Stage. He mentioned that when the tax strategy group reported, it would bring clarity to the matter. Would it not be better for the Minister to ask the Revenue Commissioners to consider holding off on implementation of the change on 1 March until the report is published?
