Ireland's interaction with Brazil on this important issue is being led by the Irish Ambassador to Brazil. All correspondence with the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service on this issue has to date been through the Ambassador and the Department of Foreign Affairs. My officials and officials from the Revenue Commissioners continue to be actively engaged in supporting the Ambassador in our efforts to seek Ireland's removal from the Brazilian list. This includes arranging a delegation of officials meeting with their Brazilian counterparts to attempt to address any concerns the Brazilian side have.
