What the Minister has always made clear, as is clear to me he was trying to do in the comments quoted by the Deputy, is that Ireland on its own cannot solve international tax arrangements. What Ireland can do and is doing under the Minister's leadership is removing the double Irish label and the mismatch that occurred. However, as I said in my opening comments and as the Minister said on budget day, it is not claimed that this change will bring an end to all of the issues that Deputy Boyd Barrett was raising. That is the broad approach.
