Of course. It would be interesting to get the breakdown of, for example, the percentage of those earning over €100,000, how many that equates to, how much income they earn and how much income tax they pay as a result. I recall seeing figures previously which showed the top 5% earning 20% of income but paying 45% of the tax. It would be good to see how that pattern has been moving over the past number of years and what is projected.
