I propose to take Questions Nos. 241 and 242 together.

Tax collection issues in any individual case are matters for the Revenue Commissioners who, for reasons of taxpayer confidentiality, cannot comment on individual cases. As a result, the Deputy will appreciate that it would be inappropriate for the Commissioners to comment on the tax affairs of any taxpayer at the request of another taxpayer, which appears to be the import of these questions. By way of general remarks, the Revenue Commissioners have advised me that they are fully familiar with the facts surrounding the transactions in question.

Question No. 243 answered with Question No. 231.
