Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Northern Ireland (25 Jan 2024)

That is a big concern for people who are working in Northern Ireland.

Colm Burke: I thank Mr. Cody for his presentation. I was interested to hear about the black economy. There is a story in Cork about Revenue sending two female employees onto a building site to sell GAA tickets in order to gather names and addresses. That is going back a good few years. I believe it was quite a successful operation. That was well over 20 years ago. We have got a detailed breakdown...

Colm Burke: Are there any projections at this stage? For argument's sake, let us say the level of business remains exactly the same in 2026 as it was in 2022 and 2023. If those two years are used as a baseline to project receipts for 2026, is there likely to be a downturn in the amount of corporation tax paid even though the rate is increased to 15%?

Colm Burke: As a result, that has been able to contribute to the further development of infrastructure in this country. I will refer to the excise returns. There is little change in excise returns. In fact, the returns are less in 2023 than was the case in 2021. Is there an explanation for that? The number of people in the country, the amount of goods imported and all of that has increased in that...
