I am asking Mr. Buti whether that would be described as free-market thinking. In addition, was he surprised at the response by the Irish Government? Was he actually surprised because he said it was a serious decision in 2001? Was he surprised by the level of push-back from the Irish Government. It described the position as bizarre and said it had no intention of changing its plans?
