For the record, the head of tax operations contradicted that in sworn testimony to the US Senate hearings to say there was a special tax arrangement and the CEO of the company said there was a tax incentive package. We have sworn testimony in the US Senate, which let the cat out of the bag, according to the Commission, which led to this investigation. We have others who dispute that. I am not questioning their sincerity in respect of it, but I am interested to know on which side the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland comes down on. Does it come down on the side of the company's statement in 2013 or the statement that it got it wrong?
