I understand. Ms. O'Brien referred to the damage arising from the suggestion that companies could avail of an effective tax rate of 2% but that it is a misunderstanding of the legal entities. Will Ms O'Brien elaborate on what Professor Stewart said, or does she have a conflicting view? I do not want to start a row, but it comes to the fundamentals of what the committee is trying to figure out.
