That is not the case because we will, through the procedures manual, create an expectation of compliance with all obligations. We will also go further in establishing a first-stop shop to allow companies to access information in respect of relevant areas. They will also have access to a service in respect of local obligations, including licensing, health regulations and planning regulations. We will promote compliance and make it easier for companies to be compliant. One of the features of a first-stop shop is that it makes compliance easier. We will not, however, require local enterprise offices to perform the Revenue task of enforcing compliance with the tax code. To do so would be a step too far. The Deputy is arguing that a small office with five staff should ensure compliance before paying out any grant. We will not require these offices to enforce every element of the tax code.
