On the assumption from which the Deputy began, on the CGT liability for an Irish investor, I do not think it is true. In terms of the tax avoidance measures and what we are trying to achieve in this section, the Deputy and I are trying to achieve the same thing. We want to make sure that we will not be back here in 12 months saying the Deputy was correct or not, as the case may be. We want to make sure we have the correct amendment.
