The second question is on the calculations the Revenue Commissioners have made. The tax some of the larger companies based in Ireland would have to pay can offset that against their corporation tax here, which would lead to the State losing between €120 million and €160 million. Obviously, they get back approximately €45 million, which is the estimate, but it would be a loss to the State, not to the companies.
