Vote 10 - Tax Appeals Commission

Mr. Mark O'Mahony:
Some 2,731 appeals were finally transferred. We were not privy to the original negotiation process. I recall that we were informally advised by the Revenue Commissioners that 5,000 or 5,500 legacy appeals might be transferred to us. On a back of the envelope basis, one could say that maybe 50% were resolved. I do not have first-hand knowledge of that and do not want to pin down a figure.
