Maureen O'Sullivan (Dublin Central, Independent) | Oireachtas source

It is very good to be open to discussion with organisations. I imagine they will want to continue on the work from the spillover analysis because, as I said last week, there is evidence that international tax advisers are advising their clients on opportunities to use Ireland as a conduit in precisely the ways in which the spillover analysis of two years ago stated could not possibly be used. It is linked with the point on fairness. Our reputation is considerable when it comes to our relationship with developing countries. We are very much respected. Unless we get the position on tax right, we will undermine that reputation. The national plan for human rights and business has finally arrived and it is all about policy coherence. It is welcome that the Minister is to meet Christian Aid to have a frank discussion on these matters.
