I gather we are discussing this amendment and the next one together. I will begin by discussing the fisher tax credit. We should perhaps give it its Irish name, which has always been gender neutral, an iascaire. There are issues in terms of state aid in respect of the seafarer allowance being proposed under the Indecon report. It was made clear that there were state aid issues. No such state aid issues apply to the tax credit. Is that correct? I am referring to the tax credit as opposed to the allowance suggested under the Indecon report.
