I will provide a table for Deputy Boyd Barrett that will give, in a fair amount of detail, the figures he was looking for. I do not accept the distinction between gross and net taxation. People pay their tax and that is collected but the table I have here goes through the tax collected under the RCT system, and any tax then offset against tax liabilities and so on. I will provide all of that information to the Deputy.

I cannot comment on the operation mounted on the site the Deputy referred to because I do not have information on how it was conducted. It is clear from the number of visits made by the Revenue Commissioners, and the outcome of those visits, as I told the House a moment ago, it is having an effect in dealing with this issue. Looking at the number of employees registered, at the reclassification of individuals, this appears to be the very kind of activity that the Deputy has been calling for. These are the figures for the number of on-site visits and their effect. I will soon receive a report from the working group I mentioned earlier to Deputy Burton and others and the paper emerging from that will be published.
