I thank the Senator for raising the issue. It is the intention of Revenue to publish such information. It will publish details of recipients of the scheme in due course, but I can tell the Senator, in advance of that, that I am advised by Revenue that fewer than ten businesses with a connection to the economic activity defined as data processing, hosting and related activities applied for registration under the scheme. For reasons of taxpayer confidentiality, of course, Revenue does not provide a breakdown of details that involve fewer than ten business. I understand, from information from the electricity networks, that there are connection agreements for approximately 40 data centres where there could be data hauls behind different connection points. In answer to the Senator's question, Revenue will be publishing details of the scheme.
