I am also surprised that the Property Registration Authority is being voted some €32 million. I would like to see a cost-benefit analysis on the amounts being spent on each of these subheads against the amounts of money being taken in. Similarly it would be quite interesting to see a cost-benefit analysis on the Revenue Commissioners which cost us almost €323 million.

As the Leader said, this is a technical Bill to all intents and purposes, but there is value in bringing it before the House for comment and scrutiny. It was a good move and I appreciate the Minister of State coming in at such short notice to take it.
