As I understand it, from what the Minister had to say this morning, Ireland will not be engaging in the first round of discussions on this issue but is taking an observational position. In the eventuality that an FTT is up and running in a minimum of nine countries, will the Department engage in monitoring the tax that we are foregoing in this regard? If so, I would ask that the Department report on that matter to this committee.
