Michael McGrath (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

Okay, it is a reference point issue. On financial resolution No. 11, which relates to DIRT, I received an e-mail from someone recently who argued that DIRT should be extended to some of the An Post products, such as savings bonds and saving certificates. I am not making that argument, but the person who e-mailed cited a figure that I cannot recall now, but which would yield huge revenue for the State if DIRT was extended. Has that ever been considered and has the Minister an estimate of what it would bring in?
