Ms Josephine Feehily:

Our role in relation to that promotion work of IDA Ireland is to give it technical advice and interpret the taxes Acts for it, just as we would give such advice to the Department of Finance, if it wanted us to do so. Our role is technical. Our corporation tax experts would, from time to time, provide technical insight and advice for IDA Ireland on the meanings of the various structures allowed in the taxes Acts.
