Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Joint Sub-Committee on Global Corporate Taxation
Ireland's Corporate Tax System: Discussion
4:50 pm
Mr. Sorley McCaughey:
The author of a recently published book that discusses inequality references the amount of wealth held offshore as being important in assessing figures for inequality. The figures he has produced highlighting the massive gap between the rich and poor are only a small part of the picture if one factors in the huge amount of wealth being held offshore.
