May I go through this very quickly? Revenue has various enforcement procedures, which Ms Feehily has gone through, and that is absolutely fine. There is not going to be much resistance because there is no capacity for resistance in this case. Revenue will just take the money out of people's social welfare cheques, employees' cheques or PAYE. Is that not correct? Consequently, non-compliance is not really going to be a major issue, is it?
