The Minister might advise Members as to the identities of the organisations, companies and representative associations with which officials from his Department and the Revenue Commissioners met specifically to discuss these issues between the Bill's publication and the present, as well as whether the Minister was personally involved or has been briefed on an ongoing basis. He should provide Members with a background to the discussions to establish who had access to the Department during that time and whether many people who sought access to make representations were not facilitated with such meetings.
