Re: How Irelands Falsely Inflated Economy Could See it Leave the Block
[QUOTE=Bread;1963518]Great article here from Graham Gudgin on how overseas companies, routing profits through Ireland have contributed to Irelands falsely inflated economy. As a result it means Ireland is forced to make disproportional payments to the EU coffers.[QUOTE]He should check some of his figures. He states ireland's contribution in 2019 as 230 mln. However, the official figure for 2018 was 720 mln. Suggestive of graham at least being sloppy with figures.

The budget includes €5 billion for a special Brexit Adjustment Reserve that will go to countries and industries “that are worst affected,” an addition that Ireland’s Prime Minister Micheál Martin was particularly pleased about.

If the RoI want to cut its contributions to the various EU budgets and funds, why doesn't it put up its tax rates for international companies? Probably because the country is still making a mint out of the deal even after the EU takes its very large slices.
Next year, Dishy Rishi could even reduce our corporation tax rates to make the UK more of a tax haven and play the RoI at its own game. Then he'd have some spare cash to start paying back all the money the Government has had to borrow over the last few months.

Since the UK is lonely standing outside the EU they have become very insecure. Even to cheat on the north ireland protocol they need the help of real irishmen.

If Ireland put it's tax rates up unemployment would go back to 2010 levels. That's why the EU allowed companies a tax incentive to set up there in the first place. By now the QE from the financial crash should have ended in its quest to solve the unemployment problems, but it continues today, day in day out, because it hasn't worked. Now with the pandemic, that's set to go into a Euro death spiral.
The UK cutting VAT and corporation tax would be a smart move.
