It would be interesting for the House to know the companies in question. In terms of the development of proposals for the knowledge development box, has the Minister come to a conclusion on the rate or how it will be structured? Does the Minister have a clear vision for that? Has there been much opposition expressed from interested parties through the consultation process? Has the Minister given much consideration to tailoring it for the benefit of indigenous Irish companies as well? We are well aware of the context, which is a changing international tax environment, and specifically continued inward investment, which we all wish to see from foreign direct investment companies. There is a major opportunity for domestic companies to avail of it as well.
