Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The Deputy did not suggest any increase in corporate tax because his party is of the view that there should not be increases in corporate tax because of the wider investment issues facing the country. I take it I am being accurate on that issue.
I do not believe price caps would be optimal either or would give us the outcome over time in terms of how the market would operate.
On what we are doing, we have the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, we have a new food regulator that we are establishing to bring far greater transparency on pricing, and in terms of energy, there is a windfall tax coming to capture the excessive profits that have been made by the energy companies.
