I want to touch on the thorny issue of raising tax on a regional or intercity basis. No one can compete with Dublin. How can we make the regions more attractive? If one visits a major city in another country, one pays a higher government tax than one would pay in a smaller town in the countryside. Do the witnesses believe such an idea would be attractive?
