I do not have a date in my diary to meet representatives of Facebook again any time soon. I usually meet them at intervals of six months to a year, as Facebook is a major employer and taxpayer in Ireland. I am sure a meeting will happen in the next few months.

On tax warehousing, I hear what Senator Crowe is saying. It would be strange if we were telling businesses to get Government backed low-cost loans when we could just extend tax warehousing. That might be the most effective thing for them in terms of cash flow. It is a matter for the Minister for Finance, as the Senator knows, but I know the Minister quite well and we have had a number of conversations on this issue. No decision will be made until 1 June. That is all I can say for now. I understand the point the Senator made and I agree with it.
