The report recently published by the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council raises significant concerns about our corporation tax, particularly about what is considered to be in excess. The report specifically suggested that the Government needs to make a credible commitment to not using potentially short-lived corporation tax receipts for long-lasting spending increases. In light of that recommendation, can the Minister indicate what budgetary changes he will make and what budgetary approach he will take to avoid becoming reliant on the significant increases we have seen in corporation tax receipts?
