That is a really good idea. So far, the need for it has not arisen. What we do have in the Department of Finance is a number of members of staff who are seconded to different embassies. For example, we have Department of Finance officials based in London, Berlin and other embassies across the United Kingdom and the European Union. To date, there has not been a demand for Revenue officials to be located there because of what we have been able to do through officials from the Department of Finance. However, it is a really interesting idea and perhaps as we move through the year and we get further clarity on some issues regarding Brexit it could be that it is something there is a need for, but so far there has not been.
