US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen: Global tax deal is 'once-in-a-generation opportunity'

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen urged Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe to take a "once-in-a-generation opportunity" for a deal that aims to overhaul the way multinationals are taxed around the world.  

Despite pressure from US and the EU, Ireland has not wavered in its opposition as an October deadline approaches to finalise a deal for a global minimum tax of "at least" 15%.
