Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit fá choinne teacht isteach leis na Meastacháin a phlé. Tá cúpla ceist sciobtha agam ó thaobh na Breatimeachta de.
In terms of Brexit, it was mentioned that there are 330 staff, although the Minister of State is not sure whether they have all been recruited. There is a difference between the amount of resources the Revenue Commissioners looked for and how much they were granted. They were granted a couple of million euro less than what they sought. Can the Minister of State explain the rationale for that? They looked for an increase of just over €21 million and they were provided €18 million.
