Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Let me clarify. The OECD BEPS process agreed country-by-country reporting on the condition that the information remained confidential, as all taxpayers' information remains. If the Oireachtas decides to make such information public, it will untangle the BEPS agreement and allow other taxation authorities not to give that information to the Revenue Commissioners because we are not in compliance with the agreement. That would be an extraordinarily foolish step to take.
