Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Financial Transaction Tax: Discussion with Department of Finance

3:45 pm

Ms Brenda McVeigh:

No, I do not. The one point on which we agree is that we have stayed out of it because of issues such as that. We have mentioned the potential for job losses and the unknowns that are in it but we have certainly said in every briefing that we have produced on it - and more than once at this committee - that we believe the financial transaction tax in its current format will result in a cost to consumers and that, for us, is not viable.
