I thank the Commissioner for her attendance with her team and for responding to our invitation. I will continue on from Deputies Michael McGrath and Pearse Doherty. Would it be fair to say that this particular ruling is not so much about the Irish tax system and the Irish tax code but was instigated by the US Senate hearing and is specifically about investigating and looking at Apple?

Is this really all about Apple and not about the Irish tax system or rate and how we attract and retain foreign multinational companies?
