Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Joint Sub-Committee on Global Corporate Taxation

Ireland's Corporate Tax System: (Resumed) KPMG and Unite

2:50 pm

Mr. Conor O'Brien:

It says €5.2 billion on page five of the Department's document, if I am reading it correctly. It is possibly a reconciling item, but my view is that because the Revenue obviously gathers all the information from all the companies which are supposed to pay tax, that is the hardest information one can get.
