I thank Dr. McDonnell for the informative contributions. I have a number of questions so there will be a bit of back and forth. I had seven or eight questions but, thankfully, Dr. McDonnell has answered three of them already. I come from an accounting background and have great respect and love for economics. I will focus on specifics. Dr. McDonnell said that employment and growth will remain and that sounds good, but has he examined the effect on the tax take, primarily corporation tax and the related high income tax take over the next five years? Does he have specifics?
