No, it is the very thing Seamus Coffey has been consistently arguing for and the Minister knows he is wrong on that. Mr. Coffey has been critical of the fact the Minister has given an exemption on intellectual property rights.

I also argued for an increase in the betting tax but not in the way the Minister wanted.
