As Ms McVeigh says, it is moving at a hundred miles per hour. Will this come to completion at the same time as the enhanced co-operation for the 11 member countries? We have not fleshed out the details of the tax with reference to the 11 members involved in enhanced co-operation. We recognise the move could have an effect on the Irish economy, depending on the structures of the tax. I am concerned that we are somewhat behind on this rather than on top of the issue. I question the ESRI analysis, which I thought was fundamentally flawed. As this is moving so quickly, is there any mechanism to provide that additional information be given to the committee?
