I believe we can break tax loopholes by taxing corporations heavily if funds are moved from Irish banks. Tax loopholes are being shut down around the world. Shareholders of corporations will be very interested in our lowest rate corporation tax and will know it is extremely worthwhile hiring the higher amount of Irish staff and will more than move towards this goal.
I am currently working on a report on the spending habits of the HSE and county councils, we will scrutinise spending in these areas and release a report on how better to spend our budget.
