Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for raising this important issue. I have not had an opportunity to study that research. I have seen some news reports, but I do not know about it in any detail. In almost every budget and finance Bill there are proposals to close loopholes where tax avoidance and tax evasion is occurring. I am confident the Deputy will see some measures in that space in the Budget Statement and also in the finance Bill. We have already closed off loopholes in regard to stateless corporations, the double Irish and other avoidance opportunities that existed in the past. I am confident the Deputy will see more of that in the upcoming finance Bill.
