I welcome Mr. Carswell. I will begin with his previous book Something Rotten: Irish Banking Scandals. I have referenced it before in the inquiry. He deals with the DIRT scandal on page 151 and he says, "The controversy revealed that in 1980s and 1990s Ireland there existed a culture of State and bank sponsored tax evasion." Could he speak to this for the committee and outline what he means in relation to that culture of State and bank sponsored tax evasion?
