I want to talk about the real and the perceived. I will not debate what is real and what is perceived but does Mr. Coffey believe the discussion on this change - which also coincided with the Paradise Papers, Apple's tax structure and The New York Times, for example, linking this change from 80% to 100% to it - has caused any reputational damage to the State? Issues Ireland has been fast and loose with have been revisited. It closed down the residency rule and has started to phase out the double Irish. Have we brought more reputational damage on ourselves? If that is the case, does Mr. Coffey believe there is any risk with regard to companies or corporations locating here?
