Mr. Cody is familiar with Mr. Coffey's report. He made a couple of recommendations and I would like Mr. Cody's observation on them. Mr. Coffey took the view that the level of expertise in the Revenue Commissioner's was not of sufficient strength in the context of a range of measures. Will Mr. Cody comment on what is being done to increase the level of expertise to what is required? Mr. Coffey also spoke about the measures to be brought in on transfer pricing and a range of other areas. He was looking at an integrated model so that in future years, when Ireland is operating in a global environment in which aggressive tax planning is the order of the day, any arrangements arrived at in Ireland will stand up to scrutiny and due diligence measures. Will Mr. Cody give his observation on that? It is a relatively fresh report. It is also a pretty direct report.

When does Mr. Cody expect he will have concluded his investigations into the Paradise Papers and so forth?
