Seanad debates

That there is a problem with Government taxation revenue and income irritates me. Whereas I accept that, I do not accept there is a significant problem in the general economy. Given that it was not necessary to reduce corporation tax this year from 16% to 12.5% it could have been deferred for a year. Others were made to wait. That was a mistake. I appealed to the Minister previously to hold back on reducing corporation tax. They are the people who make the biggest profits and who have gained most. When all those things are put together in a budget it is clear that those who have most are getting most.
