We do. I cannot let the Deputy's comment stand. The tax system in Ireland has many complexities. I argue, and the Deputy will disagree with me, that the Government has taken measures in the budget to improve the lot of everybody paying income tax and USC. If we want our small open economy to prosper we must keep trying to attract key decision-makers. They do not pay tax here because they are not here. If we get them into the country they will make a contribution to our tax base and bring a decision-making capacity to the IFSC, to Ireland and the economy.
