To return to earlier comments on information on accountancy measures and revenue streams that become available at a European-wide level, it would be possible to find out what the Estonian and German revenue from these streams are just as we have income and VAT figures for the first quarter and the second quarter of the year. Is it an assumption or an identified measure that the Department of Finance would calculate what the revenue would be from this proposal? If the Germans were to get X from this from Irish transactions, we would know what Y was, what we should be getting? Will the Department be carrying out that examination?
