The Minister of State observed it is under the remit of the Department of Finance to focus on this issue. He also stated this amendment could do damage to Ireland's interpretation. I do not know whether the Minister of State has been watching the same television shows or reading the same newspapers as have I, because Ireland's reputation international has been trammelled. While this issue may be under the remit of the Minister for Finance, it is within the remit of the Government and this amendment provides the Government with an opportunity to resolve the issue.
