Mr. Niall Cody:
It was the wrong conclusion. I stated that this was something that we have defeated. We have successfully tackled fuel laundering. We have eliminated it south of the Border. In conjunction with HMRC, we have practically eliminated it on the island. I am confident that, if we conducted a tax gap analysis of the fuel situation in 2017, we would see a low figure. I am open to doing that. One can conduct a good tax gap analysis in terms of fuel because it all comes into Dublin and Cork ports.
