US Senate ‘misunderstood’ Irish tax regime, says Noonan

Minister for Finance Michael Noonan says that Ireland must defend its corporate tax rate to defend jobs.

Speaking before the Oireachtas Finance Committee, he said there was a great deal of misunderstanding about our tax regime because of the US Senate hearings intoApple.

“I don’t want to be the whipping boy for some misunderstanding in a hearing in the US Congress.”
