With respect because I am aware of all of that; I am aware of the macro work that Revenue does and what information the Comptroller and Auditor General is privy to or not. I am talking about the Committee of Public Accounts, which Mr. Cody well knows, so my statement was not about what Mr. Cody knows or what Mr. McCarthy knows or has access to. It involves what we have access to. I am fully aware of Revenue's function, responsibilities and powers. Mr. Cody could spend half an hour telling me all of that. I am aware of it. I was simply making a point that the Act cited by me makes it problematic for me to truly scrutinise whether or not companies are paying their taxes or not. That is my point.
