I thank the Minister for setting out the factual situation on how we deal with the multinational companies and their tax situation. I reiterate that what people perceive is what becomes the norm. While I thank the Minister for all the work that is being done on the tax issue, we need to get out there and continuously repeat that Ireland is not, as we have been dubbed in the media, a tax haven. We have a job to do to clear up the unfortunate situation in which we were singled out. We need to keep repeating the mantra that we are not the tax haven we are perceived to be. I thank the Minister for his clarity.
