Corporation Tax: Motion (Resumed) (23 Mar 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I wish to share time with Deputy Brian Lenihan. The 12.5% rate of tax has long been a cornerstone of Irish industrial policy and I urge the Government in the strongest possible terms to withstand entreaties from our partners in Europe on this issue.

What level...

Universal Service Charge: Motion (29 Mar 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Good, because there are many more things I want to say. That brings me to the point that we now have a better system. Sinn Féin's problem with this - it wants to go back to the income levy - is that the USC is applied to incomes that are too low. If that is its argument, it must explain what kind of USC it wants and where it would pitch it. It must then tell us where it will make up the...
