The volume does indeed sound quite large. I take the Deputy's point. In terms of where the yield comes from, it comes from a relatively small number of the total number of interventions. I do not want to sound glib at all in what I am about to say but we have so many taxpayers in our country now that if Revenue is forming the view that it is part of its routine work to ensure the correct level of tax is being paid by all of the taxpayers, the volume can mount up pretty quickly.
