Does Revenue not have any obligation if Ireland is being used in some way? Any company that is incorporated in Ireland is using Ireland in some sense. For example, the witness mentioned earlier how Ireland is ultimately under the jurisdiction of the European Court as a member of the European Union. Does Revenue not feel any responsibility or obligation whatsoever if Ireland is being used in some way to facilitate tax avoidance or evasion, or in exploiting loopholes? Does Revenue not feel any obligation to flag that whatsoever?
