I am going to the next step and asking for clarification in order that we can get clarity. In terms of the current stages of discussion, is the Minister aware of how they are discussing collecting it? Are they talking about a central collection agency for the ten countries?
The UK tried to take a legal challenge against enhanced co-operation being used for the FTT, and it was shot down by the European Court of Justice. If the UK potentially considers a new legal challenge, what would be the Irish Government's attitude? Would it consider participating alongside the UK in a legal challenge against an FTT pursued by a minority of countries within the EU?
