I thank the Minister of State for attending the committee. He will note there is great interest in this subject. What has prompted the agreement with Dominica at this time? I ask the Minister of State to explain the background to this agreement. It is State policy to have as many double taxation arrangements as possible but I query why this agreement has been arranged now and the events which prompted it.
