I wish to raise a few other points about the annual report. Mr. Cody will send to the committee the memo on the double Irish from which he read. Regarding aggressive tax planning, many of those companies that used the section 110 provisions bought properties from NAMA - I am not referring to any individual company - and, according to Mr. Cody, used the charity trust mechanism to have a small or zero tax rate. Would he not consider this aggressive tax planning? Can Revenue do anything about it?
