Mr. Egan should be mindful of one thing. Revenue deals with this day in, day out. You get a small farmer who has 40 or 50 acres and you might have another farmer who owns 400 or 500 acres. The second one might need a big bin, but the person with the 40 or 50 acres, in fairness, is entitled to get the VAT back. Such farmers make up most of rural Ireland.
