Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Financial Transaction Tax: Discussion with Department of Finance

3:25 pm

Ms Brenda McVeigh:

We did not ask the funds industry to come in. We have been very transparent. It is Government policy that we are not going into the FTT and that is a well known fact. Various groups have asked to discuss it with us because even though Ireland is not in the FTT, they are still concerned because of the impact of the deemed established rule. The only group that has come to us so far - we have not asked people in - has been Social Justice Ireland. It is not on the basis of an invite.
