I thank the Commissioner for being with us today. To go back over a couple of things, is the Commissioner saying that if it were not for the US Senate hearing which exposed the tax incentive arrangement with Apple, there would not have been this investigation and we would not be here now? The Irish Government is saying this was part of a trawl through. Is the Commissioner saying it would not have happened and we would not be where we are now but for that Senate hearing?
