At least we are on some common ground because these are the precise figures in which I am interested.

The pre-tax or gross profits in the Central Statistics Office figures do not indicate €40 billion but rather €69 billion. That is approximately €70 billion. How we go from €70 billion pre-tax to €40 billion-----
