I am aware of that, but those figures are from a low base. I have the figures for nearly every year. It is much appreciated that we end up with additional gardaí. I do not want to be overly parochial, but Kildare is significantly behind other areas with similar populations. County Meath lags even further behind and the numbers are moving backwards as the population is growing. It is noticed and appreciated when additional gardaí are provided because we appreciate how stretched the organisation is.
I will move on to something in the appropriation account because our time is limited. Can the Commissioner take us through how the voluntary disclosure to the Revenue Commissions occurred and the extent of it?
