Ms Josephine Feehily:

No, I really would not be comfortable. The inquiry made certain recommendations. It gave certain direction to Revenue on how we should behave. We had very long and exhaustive compliance campaigns which resulted in a huge amount of money. There were issues to do with the definition of the offence, and that is as much as I can recall. I think the DIRT inquiry report was issued in 1998 or 1999.
