I thank Mr. O'Brien. That is interesting.

A number of years ago, quite serious claims Mel Gibson made were reported in The Irish Times. The article stated that "a production company attempted to defraud Ireland's tax authorities". I am not making any claim in respect of that particular issue. It was just something that involved the particular film. In general, however, do the witnesses think the relief could have been used or was used at any point for aggressive tax avoidance? Again, I am not referring to anyone in particular.
