Tax Code
Dail Éireann — 2023-05-09
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

Greedflation is something that now, somewhat indirectly, even the ECB is acknowledging. We see it in energy and the price of food. This question is about whether it needs to be tackled, and we believe it does, in the area of vulture funds and banks profiteering off the hikes in interest rates. Is the Government willing to respond by imposing a windfall tax on those banks and vulture funds that have made super-profits from the interest rate hikes we have seen?
