Mr. Cody referred to people going online. Is it not the case that significant numbers of workers who may be entitled to this are not online? As regards advertising campaigns, a local council might place an advertisement in a local paper regarding a Part 8 planning permission or notice of a road closure and perhaps 3% of the audience will see it. I am not blaming local authorities in that regard. The issue is how to get the word out. It is clear there is an information gap here or it is not percolating down or being received. What can Revenue do to improve that? A significant number of people should be claiming these reliefs but are not doing so.
