Paul McAuliffe: I take it as a positive response, but that is a matter for us as well. There is one issue with the embargo in that the co-ordinator for the drugs task force in our area, a gentlemen named John Bennett, a fantastic man, passed away, and there have been suggestions that that post cannot be filled because of the recruitment embargo, even though it has been filled for 20 years. I ask the...

Paul McAuliffe: 52. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if a review will be carried out of the BusConnects plans for the new No. 19 route which will result in an hourly service for the Wadelai estate area of Dublin 11 rather than the current 20-minute frequency relied on by residents.

Paul McAuliffe: I want to go back to the issue of the LPT, but before I do so, I thank the Revenue Commissioners for the work they do because, ultimately, all the other bodies that come before us and account for the public money they spend in a great part is done because of the work of the Revenue Commissioners. The delivery of service in the areas of the health service, education, etc., because of the...

Paul McAuliffe: I imagine at this point that Mr. Cody has probably settled on a number that the Revenue Commissioners have deemed liable for the tax but are not complying with it. He said 3%, but does he have a rough figure of what that might be?

Paul McAuliffe: It is therefore the case that 60,000 homes across the country are not paying the LPT, are not engaging with the Revenue Commissioners in any way, have not applied for a deferral and there is no interaction between them and there is no interaction between them. What is the length of time for how the Revenue Commissioners would pursue that? Do they have a policy of allowing it to accrue and...

Paul McAuliffe: It is unlikely that debts would ever exceed the sale value of the property for example. Certainly, it would take a considerable time to do so.

Paul McAuliffe: No, but there will be properties that will not be sold, so LPT may never be recouped. Is there any long-term strategy for those? After five, ten or 15 years, we are starting to get into those-----

Paul McAuliffe: Do the officials have the value of what LPT arrears are recouped in any one year from executor resolutions of properties? They might provide us with that, if they could do so afterwards. In some way, it is a cost-free collection process from the perspective of the Revenue Commissioners.

Paul McAuliffe: That is my experience from dealing with many of those people as well. I am conscious of time. Mr. Cody said that identifying the owner is one of the key obstacles. I know from experience with the non-principal private residence, NPPR, charge when I was on the local authority that it was also one of the factors. However, I have come across the disgraceful issue of how for many years many...

I know Revenue issued 142 letters to social media influencers. I ask the witnesses to talk us through the process of selecting those people and also how it treats the different types of income they might have. For example, if a social media influencer receives...
