Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

There has been a very significant increase in our corporation tax receipts. This is an area on which there will be growing focus in the next few years because of change that is very likely in the global tax landscape.

Whether it be the work that is taking place in the OECD or changes that we may see as a result of global trade, it will be increasingly important that we form a new view regarding the sustainability of the receipts into the medium term.

On the direct question put by the Deputy, I want to find a way by which we can form a new view relating to the sustainability of these receipts. I need to reflect on how we can do this given the role of the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council and the work done by Mr. Seamus Coffey on this area. I am working on the best way to achieve sustainability in receipts and would welcome the Deputy's views.
