I welcome Mr. Tobin, Ms Levey, Mr. O'Dea and Mr. Fanning, and I thank them for sending in their presentation which gave us an opportunity to read it through before the meeting.

I begin with the most topical issue of the European Commission's information request to Ireland along with two other countries on our arrangements with some multinational companies. When was the first contact made by the European Commission, what form did it take and what was the nature of the information sought from the Department?
