Annual Report and Accounts 2012: Discussion with IDA Ireland
10:50 am
Mr. Barry O'Leary:
Whatever it is, the OECD BEPS, base erosion and profit shifting, discussions are under way and Ireland is part of them. One would have to wait and see. I think the Deputy will see a different global environment. The challenge for Ireland - other countries have made a strong point of it also - whatever happens is to remain very competitive in the global marketplace.
