I will forgo the answers to the other questions because I want to finish with a question on Apple and on section 110. Deputy Catherine Murphy has also asked about this and I understand Mr. Cody's explanation. Even if I do not accept it, it is a rational explanation. Did Revenue have any role in going back to Government to highlight what it saw on the ground with this company, or any other company, in relation to its head office, the lack of premises or the lack of employees? Apple is not the only company that avails of these procedures. Does Revenue not have a role in highlighting these aspects of what it sees on the ground, even if such things are within Irish law?
