I want to hear from the witnesses from Revenue on this issue but, first, I want to clarify something further with Ms Donaghy or Mr. McGann.

The eking out, or the creating, of a list that is just policy initiatives would imply that those initiatives change. The information we got from the Department, however, suggests that at least some of these policies have been in place since 1999. They have not changed and they have no sunset clauses. Are we really still categorising them as policy initiatives, if they have not been reviewed, they have not been changed and they have no sunset clauses?
