I thank the Minister of State for the response. I want to zone in on her final comments, which I welcome in the first instance.I want to get clarity for Leigh and people like her. As I said, Leigh has taken the time to come up here today. Right now, she is being charged VAT for modifications to her vehicle, which are required. There is a story about HAP but it is not particularly interesting. I thank Senator O'Loughlin. I need to get clarity from the Minister of State. Is the report going to deal with the specific issue of VAT being charged to some of the most vulnerable people in our society on modifications to vehicles? I am asking the Minister of State because Deputy Carroll MacNeill, the Minister of State at the Department of Finance, who was in House last week, told us that Deputy Rabbitte's report is going to deal with issues in relation to this. I need to know for Leigh and others like her, whether the report is going to deal, finally, with that issue and injustice of being charged VAT for modifications to vehicles. Leigh has already paid €45,000 in tax on the car that came in. When she comes back from holiday later this year, her car will be impounded. That is what she is facing. The injustice is clear for all to see. The Minister of State has the power to change that. She has a report that is about to be published. If it includes the right recommendation, it will change that. I need to understand whether that recommendation will be in the report.
