Correct me if my mathematics are wrong, if the tax liability is €13 billion and for the sake of argument, the tax rate is 10%, the economic activity is €130 billion, if I am correct. What the Commission is saying is that in this instance, there was €130 billion worth of economic activity conducted on the island of Ireland through two entities. Is that correct based on that model?
