I had not realised that we would broach the subject of the windfall taxation proposal. My question, without the detail in front of us, if we come to that point, is now many companies it will apply to in Ireland? The jurisdiction is quite small in terms of energy generating companies. Notwithstanding the fact that the Minister has put €1 billion to €2 billion as the potential yield from it, how many companies would it apply to?
