The Minister needs to clarify whether this is a stay of execution or a review of what has already been decided. Will he tell us what Revenue found when it reviewed certain categories of employment? What was the outcome of that review? Was there any consultation with the representative bodies as part of that review? Is it Revenue's case that tax relief is granted in respect of a level of expenses which is greater than the level of expenses actually incurred? Is that what Revenue is saying? Is that its conclusion? The cost of moving to a new system, involving tens of thousands of individual claims by employees in respect of expenses wholly, exclusively and necessarily incurred in the performance of their duties, must be weighed into the equation as well. These key questions need to be answered.
