With respect, having been a member of the European Union since 1973 and having always protected the Single Market and adhered to the four freedoms and the values inherent in them, this is an area of concern for Ireland. Tax policy is a matter of member state competence. It always has been. There have been suggestions here, perhaps due to the paranoia of dealing with Brexit, that in return for the solidarity offered in the Brexit process pressure will come upon Ireland to be more flexible in reforming EU tax policy. I certainly hope this is not the case.
