Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

Obviously, the tax clearance certificate has more implications than the employment wage subsidy scheme, EWSS, and the Covid restrictions support scheme, CRSS. I was concerned that by extending it, there were people who were not tax compliant who were able to compete for public business, for example, whereas others who were tax compliant maybe should have had another opportunity. In the context of the chapter, I was looking at whether people who had been extended were not tax compliant but were able to benefit from the support schemes. That was the question I had in my head.
