The position is that my Department meets regularly with the Revenue Commissioners as part of the Budget and Finance Bill process.

I should point out that it is a longstanding practice of the Minister for Finance not to comment in advance of the Budget on any tax or expenditure matters that might be the subject of Budget decisions.
