This question asks the Minister to commission a new independent assessment of the sustainability of Ireland's corporation tax receipts. As he well knows, we have had a boom in corporation tax receipts in recent years, but there are very serious questions about the sustainability of those receipts as part of the public finances at this time. I will come back in a moment and speak about the Coffey report of a number of years ago. This is a very direct question. We need to now carry out a new independent assessment to see how secure and stable this vitally important stream of revenue is.
