CORI: Tax breaks benefit the wealthiest

SOCIAL campaign think-tank CORI Justice has called on the Government to create a fairer tax system penalising the wealthiest people.

In its latest policy briefing as Fianna Fáil prepares to hold its private think-in, the group said many existing tax breaks are of far greater benefit to the better off than average earners.

CORI head Father Sean Healy said reforming these reliefs would provide the extra money needed to protect the less well off in the face of massive Budget spending cuts.
