Another vote has been called in the Dáil. We have six minutes before we suspend for the vote and we may be able to conclude the meeting. Deputy Creighton and Senator Mary Ann O'Brien have not returned and they had indicated they wished to contribute.

I have a question for Ms Byrne. Is it fair to say with regard to the net profits that the independents who lost €3 million to €5 million would, by and large, be the core smaller independent retailer who is less likely to have a big online activity which would seem to be the more profitable option even with taxation? I ask Ms Byrne to clarify.
