Mr. Gallagher, finally ... like Mr. McCarthy yesterday, who was a chief in the Taoiseach's Department previously, you explained the red line issue that corporation tax was for the Government in dealing with the troika, etc. But can I ask you: do you think it's a moral and defendable position that a Government would take that, you know, highly profitable corporate entities should be protected during austerity but, at the same time, €1 per hour can be wiped off the poorest workers' minimum wage?
