Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

Professor Michael McMahon:

I will let Dr. Casey come in with his models in a second but the earlier discussion focused on this. Some of the firms that pay high levels of corporation tax in this country also have large, long-standing operations here and employ thousands and thousands of people in the economy and those people pay income taxes as well. There is a big benefit to having them. The wrong impression is that everything coming from a multinational firm is somehow a bad thing. This is a very enviable position.
