I would like to explain to her the subsidiarity of national law to EU law, which was in place when we joined the EU in the 1970s, but I cannot do so because she is walking out the door. We will have to pretend we do not know that the system...

The budget for the Tax Appeals Commission is €1.5 million versus the Revenue budget of €330 million. It is less than 0.5%. From memory, the predecessor to the Tax Appeals Commission overturned a significant number of cases. Is the budget sufficient for that office at €1.5 million?

Multiple billions of euros are overseen in terms of the policy. Nearly half the members of the banking inquiry are in this room. We were concerned that the Central Bank was not on top of its brief. Is the SMU on top of its brief?
