Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-01
============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I just have a different perspective on it to the Deputy. I do not think our end points are different; I just have a different perspective on it. It is the Deputy's view that higher taxes always result in more revenues for the Government, which we can then spend on health, housing and everything else. My view is that it is not necessarily like that. We have very low corporation profit taxes in Ireland and yet we bring in more per capita in corporation profit taxes than almost any other country in the world or in Europe.
