Mr. Evan Cullen:

It was not for the free lunch. It was absolutely out of fear.

On the high number of contractors, as I said, it is between 5% and 100%. Globally, Ireland is the base. If one looks at the European figures, Ireland facilities most of the European figures, with our employment, commercial or company law. We believe the €15 million to €16 million loss in employers' PRSI is extremely conservative. What is remarkable is that these companies must use one of a shortlist of accountancy firms, which must be Irish. The pilot companies must be Irish-registered as must the airline. There is some arrangement between the shortlist of accountancy firms and the beneficiary of all these arrangements.

I said that I was dismayed by the submissions made to this committee by officials and by the view the Minister took in the Dáil on 4 April.

I am sorry if I have missed a question.
