Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 47 and 50 together.

I am precluded from discussing the tax affairs of any particular individual or company, but I can confirm that I have received no such representations from the UK authorities in respect of the operation of Ireland's corporation tax regime.

Ireland has a positive international reputation based on transparency and co-operation, as is confirmed by our extensive tax treaty network with countries throughout the world, including the United Kingdom.
