That is part of it. We would say that the Revenue Commissioners fulfilled all their obligations under Irish law and collected all the tax due to Ireland under that law. It is not our business to collect tax that was appropriately due in other jurisdictions. I am not defending the case that multinationals should not make a bigger contribution internationally. The matter has to be sorted and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD, has done much work in that regard.
