That is possible. We will have to discuss the matter further with the Deputy who could be correct. That is the truth of the matter. The consequence of what he is looking for could be that the charity might be treated differently from others registered in Ireland. From a VAT law perspective, the truth is we cannot do that. I do not want to engage in false pretences, but the consequence of what the Deputy is looking for might be that the company would have to be treated differently from others registered here. Given that we are referring to an individual company and now that the Deputy has explained it in the way he has, I will have my Department engage with him bilaterally on the issue to see if we can provide clarity on it before Report Stage. It is possible that we might not be able to do what he is looking for. However, before we can definitively say this, we should discuss the issue before Report Stage.
