We can all take different interpretations. Obviously, this did not come under the centralised system. If that had happened, however, perhaps Revenue would not have had to go through this process and possibly we would not have had to wait for these leaks for whatever version of AIB we are talking about to provide this data. Is it not the case that if this warning had not been issued, and it did come under the centralised transaction processing and data storage capability of the Republic, it would have come under the scope of Revenue?
