My final general point is that Abtran as a service provider is obviously very successful at procuring. From my investigations, as well as providing outsourced services to SUSI, it seems to provide such services for eFlow, Irish Water, the Revenue Commissioners, the ESB, Electric Ireland, the National Transport Authority and the Road Safety Authority. It is an unlimited company and its parent is based in the British Virgin Islands. I wonder if official Ireland has any problem in dealing with a company like that? Are the witnesses satisfied, for example, that it pays tax within Ireland?
