Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

No, I have not conducted such an audit. As I said, the Revenue Commissioners are charged under the law to do that. They are doing it and if there is any problems they come to me, either by way of the regular meetings I have with the Chairman or in the preparation of Finance Bills in the form of any proposals they would have for changes or modifications in the law. That is the normal way it works.

To be frank, I cannot give Deputy Bruton the answer immediately but I will get it for him.
