I am asking what Mr. Hogan's advice would be from the Department of Finance on a further reduction, on a national interest basis, of excise tax, which the EU states we can do with state aid rules in mind. We are not neighbouring any other country and are an island nation. Our nearest competitor is outside of the EU and is not subject to any rules.
