Taoiseach defends Irish tax regime at global forum

Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Finance Minister Michael Noonan brought their message that Ireland was back in business to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

They also defended the country’s tax regime, proclaiming that Ireland is not a tax haven.

Honoured at being asked to officially open the European markets remotely from Davos, they used the occasion to further pressurise EU colleagues to make good on promises to ease the country’s bank debt.
