The Minister and the Minister of State, Deputy Brian Hayes, will remember that during Committee Stage discussion I urged that both Revenue and the Department would streamline the collection and assembly of information into meaningful management accounting type information. If they did, we would be able to make better policy decisions, no matter who was in charge of the ship of State. It is important to know where revenue is generated, the costs that apply to that revenue, the taxation applicable and where growth or contraction is happening in various industries and sectors. This makes sense and will help us to organise our thoughts better coming up to budget time. It is something that needs to be done immediately.
