I reiterate what other colleagues have said. I congratulate the Minister of State, Deputy Donohoe, on his appointment and wish him all the best. I know he has the capacity to deal with the onerous task ahead of him. I also wish Deputy Creighton all the best in the future. She did an excellent job during our Presidency and I wish her all the best for the future.

I have a question relating to the Lithuanian Presidency. Does the Minister of State envisage that the Lithuanian Presidency will push for a pan-European effort to get multinationals in sub-Saharan countries to pay their fair share of tax in order that those countries can at least get some sort of footing regarding being able to help themselves?
