On amendment No.157, I acknowledge that this time last year, I raised the issue of the Minister and his officials meeting Christian Aid. I acknowledge that those meetings did take place and that Christian Aid was happy to be involved in such discussions. In this very complex area, it is worthwhile talking to organisations like Christian Aid that are trying to pursue an approach to global tax justice. Obviously, that means global tax justice for the developing world as well for a country like Ireland. I acknowledge that the Minister met Christian Aid and thank him for doing so.
