Ms Morína O'Neill:

I acknowledge that the tax issue must be dealt with internationally. Senator Mullins is right about that. That is why we are very keen that the UN is involved as an actor as well as the OECD as it excludes a number of countries in the global south. It is an international issue. I will pass over to Ms Nessa Ní Chasaide to comment on the issue of the levels of debt.
