Low corporation tax rate is legalised bribery

IN response to Robert O’Leary (Letters, December 3), I fully respect his right to challenge my views on corporation tax (November 26).

My reply is that if the Government doubled the already low rate of corporation tax, it would wipe out the budget deficit.

Comments about where I choose to live do not develop the discussion. In recent times some multinationals have closed or downsized in Ringaskiddy and Little Island in Cork Harbour.
