I wish the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the best of luck over the summer and thank him for his work in his role.

It is always good to see the Minister for Finance and he is always generous with his time to the Committee on Budgetary Oversight. He mentioned corporation tax, a topic going back over a number of years. It was not the exclusive attraction for foreign direct investment. Some people over-egged the pudding of the corporation tax rate. What, if the Minister was answering a foreign direct investor, would he say the country has going for it, other than the corporation tax rate? What advantages does he see us being able to offer foreign direct investors?
