Mr. John Hogan:

I reiterate that it is not being forgotten about. We are extremely cognisant of the different reliefs that exist in this context. Some of those are part of the structure of our tax system and come under consideration when the Minister is thinking about adjusting income tax bands or whatever it might be as part of the normal budgetary process. There is an awareness that tax expenditures have a cost to the Exchequer and to the public finances. The review of those tax expenditures, as I said, is structural and is probably a bit more routine than might be expected.
