I thank Ms McVeigh and her officials for coming before us to discuss the Council directive and the Council decision. I apologise for being absent when she was making her opening statement but I was obliged to be present in the Dáil Chamber.

The Minister for Finance came before the committee last week and addressed this issue. Is Ireland's position on this matter that the jury is still out, or have we taken a definitive decision to the effect that we are not participating?
