The Tánaiste has criticised recommendations from the independent expert body on taxation, claiming they are "straight out of the Sinn Féin manifesto".

Responding to the Commission on Taxation and Welfare report, Leo Varadkar said "there is no way" that a number of the recommendations, including a hike in inheritance tax, will be introduced by the current Government.
