Kieran O'Donnell: Mr. Moscovici said he believes that Ireland will benefit from the CCCTB. Is it fair to say that about countries with large export aspects to their economies? Our exports are over 120% of our GDP, unlike many of the other countries in Europe. How do we gain from CCCTB if a substantial portion of those exports are going into the Commissioner's home country, France, as well as Germany and...

Kieran O'Donnell: A large proportion of the weight of the CCCTB system will be on where sales take place. If they are taking place outside Ireland, particularly for multinationals, how will we gain from the CCCTB system? It will undermine-----

Kieran O'Donnell: With due respect, if one is taxing the very small profits made in Ireland, it will make no difference what one's tax strategy is as one's tax take will go down significantly. Tax will be earned by the country in which the sales take place. As such, how can the Commissioner say the CCCTB system will benefit a small open economy - there is none more open than Ireland in a European context -...

Kieran O'Donnell: Taking from that, I will direct a question at Mr. McCarthy. Given what has been announced by Prime Minister May in terms of Brexit and the outcome of the elections in America and President-elect Trump, do the figures for budget 2017 stand up? Do the assumptions that were made in the budget still stand up?

We have spoken about jobs and 40,000 fewer jobs was mentioned. Increasing the terms of the national debt by €20 billion was mentioned. A reduction in exports to the UK by one third was also mentioned, something which will have an...
