The Revenue Commissioners have indicated that it is not possible for them to cost the Bill's provisions as the returns made to the Revenue do not contain information that would enable this to be done. I would be interested to hear more from the Deputy on the question of cost as I am sure he will agree it would not be appropriate to introduce a taxation measure on the basis of a stab in the dark estimate.
