I will come back in on the issue that Deputy Mairéad Farrell raised. There is a lack of clarity, given the conversation that went on. Will the Minister clear this up? Two days ago, on Tuesday, the Tánaiste stated, "any agreement we may or may not sign up to won’t impact the average Irish business, won’t impact even any large Irish business, or mid-caps. The 12.5 per cent rate will stay in place for them". Can Deputy Donohoe, as Minister for Finance, say that that is an accurate statement?
