The Minister outlined the issue in regard to the concerns about the corporate tax not returning as much as was originally planned. In regard to planning for the next 12 months, do we need to make sure that we plan carefully for that? Is there an expectation that all the larger companies in Ireland, and indeed all the companies here, are continuing to grow? They are continuing to employ more people therefore their turnover will increase. Should we presume that this will now stabilise rather than reduce?
