Mr. David Moloney:
I understand the point the Deputy is making. As we see it, the difficulty for us is that it involves a very specific provision of the tax legislation. There are also rules and legislation on identifying the tax affairs of individuals. We have not yet fully fleshed it out in terms of seeking legal advice and detail on it. The overall picture really is clear enough with regard to the Taxes Consolidation Act.
