I welcome the Minister and his officials to the meeting. I want to raise a couple questions on Vote 9 - Office of the Revenue Commissioners.
Revenue collected a record €97 billion in gross tax receipts against total administration costs of €488.6 million. Would the Minister like to elucidate further on the success of Revenue in collecting such a record amount, whether there are still amounts outstanding, and if it is expected they can be collected or are they collectable, and would he comment on the breadth of measures that were responsible for the delivery of such high amounts of tax in the year that has just expired?
