I do not think I have ever dealt with a section in a finance Bill where a Minister for Finance was not willing to say how much the section, for which we are legislating - and we are not legislating for Pillar 1 - would actually accrue to the State. Is there a reason? We know Pillar 1 will have a negative effect. Pillar 2 will be more than €2 billion but what are the calculations? It will not be a State secret for much longer.
