Yes. I am very worried about the dependence. May I ask one question about the Apple case, against which Ireland apparently is defending? Europe claims there is an issue of state aid whereby two nations already have been hauled over the coals and have been found to have breached it. Is it true the Department already has employed a barrister to defend Ireland? Do the witnesses think the case will be going to the European Court of Justice?
