The Commission's estimate is of €13 billion plus interest to Ireland. The authorities here have been looking at that since September. The Minister gave us some context in his opening remarks but can he clarify the emerging indications on that? Is there a solid basis for the estimate of €13 billion based on the Commission's decision? The Minister disagrees with the basis of the decision, as I do, but is its calculation standing up?
