The top five are multinational companies. I thank you for confirming that. They are heading for almost €3 billion, at €2.8 billion plus, in terms of what they owe. Out of all the cases being appealed, there are five companies out of the thousands that pay corporation tax - five multinational companies - that account for almost three quarters of the total sum. It is an incredible figure. Would you agree with that? It is a stand-out figure by any account.
