Please do. It is important for us to read it. There has been reputational damage to Ireland as a result of the House of Commons hearings and the US Senate hearings. Mr. O'Brien is of the view that the commentary has been unfair because it has been based on a false premise and that the 2% effective rate has been put out there. What can we do, apart from explaining our position to all the stakeholders? What changes can Ireland make to address some of those concerns?
