I am trying to get it in my head who has responsibility for considering such a scenario as outlined by the Commission and looking at it from the point of view of state aid. How would a Department know that, for example, a company was seeking a ruling from Revenue on the scenario we saw? Who would consider the other side of it? Does Revenue have any role in considering the other side or even suggesting the other side should be looked at?
