The Minister and his officials are very welcome. In speaking about the Commission's decision a few moments ago, the Minister said there was a mix of tax law and politics. Is he saying the Commission has an agenda against Ireland in respect of corporation tax? Can the Minister clarify what he means by saying a mix of tax law and politics was at play?
