I ask the Taoiseach again if he agrees that the European Parliament should inquire profoundly into the administration of Jean-Claude Juncker with regard to taxation policy. My colleague Nessa Childers, MEP, the only Irish member of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, has been a strong supporter of the idea of an inquiry. Given that we know through the Lux Leaks investigation that Luxembourg gave approximately 550 advance tax agreements or comfort letters to these multinationals, a small number of which this country was also indirectly involved in, is it not an unsustainable situation that the European Commission would be investigating the tax policy of Luxembourg while headed by the person who presided over that tax policy for so long? Will the Taoiseach agree that Jean-Claude Juncker's position is untenable and that he should step aside?
