I wish to ask two questions, the first of which follows on from those of Deputies Pearse Doherty and Catherine Murphy. The Minister has not answered this specific question. Did Revenue bring to the attention of the Minister or Europe the fact that it was dealing with a stateless company in this or other cases? Did Revenue raise an issue about the difficulties posed by that?

The Irish Examinerhas reported that the State was ordered this year to retrieve €10 million in illegal State aid to a company in the Minister's area, the Aughanish plant. Has the State collected that money or appealed the decision?
