Mr. Cody mentioned earlier from the 2014 report quite rightly that our effective corporate tax rate is 10.1%. The Revenue Commissioners and the Comptroller and Auditor General are competent authorities in the field of taxation. Would Mr. Cody confirm to the committee that he has a view that in respect of its findings against the State and Apple there is a question as regards the Commission's competence in respect of taxation in this jurisdiction?
