It is assumed that the question relates to the tax affairs of gaming machine operators. It would be of assistance in carrying out the investigations, envisaged in the question, if the Deputy would make available to me, on a confidential basis, details of the abuses of which he complains and such other details as would enable the Revenue Commissioners to carry out the appropriate investigations.
