We will find out which is the case. What role does the Department have in the Clearing House Group and what lobbying has come from commercial and private interests with regard to the financial transaction tax and the attitude towards corporation tax? Does Mr. Moran have any thoughts on the potential revenues forgone by not imposing a financial transaction tax and on the very low effective corporate tax rate, which may be as low as 6%? Should that be examined?
