Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Priorities for Budget 2019: Discussion

4:00 pm

Dr. Robert Sweeney:

Ireland's corporation tax is precarious because we are so dependent on a small number of companies. One way to address that is to raise taxation from alternative sources so that if for instance there is a drop in corporate tax revenues for some policy reason at EU level it does not have such an impact on Irish revenues.
