One word of caution here. It is something the Minister for Finance intimated yesterday with regard to what is coming from Europe, specifically as it pertains to Apple. It was not just an intimation; he was effectively saying that a lot of the criticisms of Ireland's corporate tax structure and the Apple issue were politically motivated. We should be careful with regard to this group. We should find out its make-up before we bring its members into the public accounts committee. I tend to agree with the Minister for Finance. There are a lot of countries within the European bloc that have for a long time been critical of our tax and corporate tax structures. They are competing with us. I just think we should be careful with regard to this particular group.
