I need to come back in here. We are not legislating for Pillar 1. Pillars 1 and 2 are separate now in law. We have signed up to it and the intention is to legislate for it. This committee is passing Pillar 2 into law. It is fair and reasonable for this committee, which is tasked with scrutinising this legislation, to ask for this information and to ask about the effect of this legislation in relation to revenue. It is a standard question that we ask on every matter we legislate for. We would not be doing our job if we did not scrutinise this. If the Minister's officials do not have the information to hand, perhaps they could make that calculation and determination, which should be provided to the committee. I would strongly urge this. This is the Oireachtas finance committee.
