The Minister has been very selective in the years he quoted in relation to taxation.

The Minister knows well that the tax decreased. In fact, he said that there was aggressive behaviour to avoid tax. The purpose of the review conducted by Revenue was to look at how those loopholes could be shut down. Has there been any action on foot of that review, the results of which have not been published? Will the Minister be taking action? In 2017, the sector was much smaller and, of course, was paying less tax. This is a selective use of data.
