I support what the Minister of State has said. We do not want to put in something that might stifle creativity, and stifle research and development of products particularly in the IT area. We are marketing Ireland as an IT hub and IT leader. We want to continue that from a research and development point of view. I understand the Deputy's concerns, but we do not want to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut. We do not want to stifle the creativity and I fully endorse what the Minister of State said.
