I shared my thoughts on the darft programme for Government on @TonightVMTV last night, highlighting the risks of further narrowing Ireland’s tax base.
“Lots of spending, and lots of that increased spending being funded by very unreliable and increasingly risky sources.”
Economist @howardemma outlines Ireland’s reliance on corporation tax receipts and how Donald Trump’s return could impact the Irish economy.

Felt a bit like trying to get Oasis tickets but thankfully without the dynamic pricing
