Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Catherine Connolly: Absolutely. I appreciate what Revenue is doing but the issues have not really come to the fore because of proactive work - although I am sure Mr. Cody will contradict me on that - but because of the work of concerned journalists.
