The meeting at 1.30pm in Committee Room 3 of Leinster House will discuss pre-legislative scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Central Bank (Individual Accountability Framework) Bill 2021 with Minister Donohoe, followed by an update on Corporate Tax Rate changes recently approved by the Government.

Committee Cathaoirleach Deputy John McGuinness said: “The Committee welcomes this opportunity to discuss with the Minister this important legislation, which proposes to update the regulatory framework for senior executive accountability in financial institutions. Members also welcome the update on the decisions to increase Ireland’s Corporate Tax Rate from 12.5 per cent to 15 per cent as part of the OECD-led global reforms of corporate taxation. We would like to hear from Minister Donohoe the next steps in this process and the longer term implications for Ireland of this decision.”
