I acknowledge that 11.30 a.m. was a deadline but if the Minister has time for a couple more questions, I myself have a couple.
Reference was made in the meeting with the Commissioner about Irish authorities' perceived view that they were not receiving procedural fairness in their dealings with the Commission. Maybe the Minister could elaborate on that and on the process - how much feedback the Minister got, the timeliness of the feedback and other issues involving the interaction between the Commission and the Department and the Minister in advance of the ruling. Was it a surprise on 30 August when it came out and how much prior notice of the announcement were the Department and Revenue given?
