I will touch on one other issue in relation to tax. Income tax has gone up quite substantially from €26 billion to €32 billion. The number of people working in this country has gone up by approximately 800,000. We have gone from 1.8 million people up to 2.6 million people working. Of the 2.6 million people, is the Revenue aware of the number of people who are working here who are not Irish citizens or who have come in from abroad? Does Revenue have the exact numbers who are paying tax here and who are working here?
