Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Revenue Commissioners: Discussion (15 May 2024)

We took in €23.8 billion last year. Often the Minister for Finance and other politicians refer to the windfall nature of these taxes. According to Mr. Cody's assessment, how reliable will this source of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Revenue Commissioners: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: Ms Acheson may want to come in. When looking at the €23.8 billion, €20 billion of it comes from what are referred to as foreign-owned multinationals. Is that correct?
