I will not comment on the affairs of any one particular company because its tax affairs and profitability are matters relevant only to it. The key point in regard to what Deputy Paul Murphy has just said is the thousands of people such a company employs. My guiding principle in the development of the wage subsidy scheme and the work we are doing is to protect those jobs, the families who depend on them and the future existence of such companies so that they can continue to employ people. That is the purpose of the temporary wage subsidy scheme. The criteria for accessing the scheme reflect that.
