On Brexit, the 330 staff have been employed. Most of the recruitment commenced in 2019 so we are seeing the completion of the process in 2020.
In terms of agents for the State in 2021, everybody will appreciate that because of the general election and the formation of the Government, we are very late in coming forward with the Estimates for the calendar year. In a week's time, we will have the Estimate for 2021 published on budget day. The issues mentioned concerning 2021 can only be dealt with when the Estimate is published on budget day. I am not in a position to answer for 2021 but we will have the Estimate for next year, and so the answer, on budget day.
Finally, I do not have the number concerning Revenue. However, I will have a note sent to the committee as promptly as possible. I do not have the answer today.
