Dr. Róisín Hinds:

I thank the committee for its support on tax justice. The latter is one of Oxfam's core priorities. We work in coalition with partners in Ireland, many of which are Dóchas members, through the Tax Justice Network. In the areas of, in particular, tax and climate, which Trócaire is very involved in, policy coherence is essential for alleviating poverty and reducing vulnerability. Integrity and coherence are also really fundamental to building Ireland's influence in bilateral and multilateral spaces. There is a huge amount of work we can do on that. We advocate for a solid policy coherence mechanism which is appropriately resourced to identify conflicts and mandated to deal with them. We thank the committee for its support on the tax issue.
