Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I hope the gods the Deputy mentioned are with us on Saturday when we take the field against the Dubs.

Deputy Boyd Barrett talked about patriotic firebrands, and I like the way the Deputy articulates his views here. We defend our right in respect of our competence on corporate tax. It is written into the European treaties that this is a national competence and we will stand up for ourselves in that regard, irrespective of any comment from Europe or European commentators. It is enshrined in the European treaties and we defend and will always defend it.
