I do not accept the figure provided because I have seen the Department of Finance figures and know the European Commission position. I think it is in the region of 6%. However, setting aside that figure, does Professor Barry accept that there is a very significant gap, even if it is 11.1%, between Ireland's effective rate and that of most other European countries?
