DUBLIN: Ireland is not getting the recognition it deserves for reforms it has made to its corporate tax regime over the past few years, Paschal Donohoe says.
The Irish finance minister, whose book cabinet at his office on Merrion Square holds a copy of Thomas Piketty’s Capital, a choice that might surprise those who don’t know his eclectic taste and voracious appetite for books, may well have mixed feelings about corporate tax. It is by far his most successful policy lever, used to underpin robust economic growth, but it has drawn the attention of the world in a way that is overwhelmingly negative.
