Michael McGrath (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Can the Minister provide a comment on recent reports that the OECD is moving ahead, perhaps faster than expected, with its own proposals around taxing the digital economy? I am aware that Pascal Saint-Amans has made some remarks, and it has certainly been reported that OECD plans are more advanced than we had understood them to be. Can the Minister confirm whether his Department and officials have been working in an intensive way in recent weeks and months at OECD level? Can he provide an update on that matter? Is the Minister expecting the OECD to bring forward fleshed-out proposals in this space sooner rather than later?
