I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to take Questions Nos. 3 and 4 together.
It would be contrary to secrecy obligations in relation to tax matters to disclose any information concerning the tax liability of any individual or any company. For that reason the information sought by the Deputy may not be given.
