On the representations, I presume we can access them via freedom of information, FOI, requests. It would be helpful to the committee if we were to have the representations and the purpose of them. We are talking in technicalities about the potential effectiveness and fairness of the arrangements which have been made. Based on what the Minister of State is saying, there was negotiation, in effect, between the Minister for Finance and the Minister of State, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, the Revenue Commissioners and Department of Finance officials around what would happen. It would be important for us to see those representations such that we can identify their purpose and, ultimately in the context of this, what was given.
