Ms Josephine Feehily:

I can assure the Deputy that we have an active prosecution programme. We were discussing prosecutions earlier. Revenue was completely re-organised around 2000. We established a dedicated division for prosecutions and special investigations. The current head of that division is Ms Breda Ruddle, who is here with me. We have an active programme every year and I have read out some of the numbers relating to last year of cases moving through the pipeline. We are getting cases to court and securing convictions. We are doing that across the community. Evidence is a problem and will always be an issue for us but we are not shy about prosecuting. I can assure the Deputy of that.
