I wish to ask Mr. Lynch about base erosion and profit shifting, BEPS. He made the point it is important it is not hijacked by national or sectional interests. The reality is every country will consider BEPS through the prism of its own national self-interest. This is the reality of the world in which we live. In general, does Mr. Lynch view BEPS as a threat to or opportunity for Ireland? I presume the desired outcome internationally is that multinationals would pay more tax. What is Mr. Lynch's overall view? He went into some detail in his presentation on a number of specific aspects and the concerns he has. In general, what is his view of BEPS and Ireland?
