I hope it is cleared up. Will Mr. Cody speak about Revenue Online Service, ROS, and what happened coming up to the deadline? It was extended to 6 p.m. on 13 November but there were further technical issues and it was down on the Wednesday morning. The next extension brought the deadline to midnight on 17 November. The Revenue Commissioners were very clear that a surcharge would not apply to any returns filed in that week. What happened? Were the Revenue Commissioners initially slow to extend the deadline? Was extending it to the following day a case of not seeing the bigger picture in trying to respond to the issue?
