IDA Ireland - Financial Statement 2013
Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) Shane Ross: Mr. Shanahan's position on corporate tax is a very strong one. What would the benefit be to the Exchequer if corporate tax was raised by 1%? Does Mr. Shanahan have an estimate?

Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) Shane Ross: I get conflicting signals. I have different pictures from Mr. Shanahan and from the multinationals about that, but presumably that is understandable. I apologise I was not present when Deputy Deasy posed questions.
