Defend corporation tax rate – jobs are at stake

YOU report (October 8) that corporation tax “may hit 17.5%”.

It is difficult to understand why any Irish business would wish to undermine our corporation tax rate or policy. The rate of 12.5% is about creating Irish jobs, now needed more than ever.

The success of the policy is underlined by resistance to it by vested interests seeking to redirect investment away from Ireland to other countries. But the policy also helps indigenous enterprise to succeed.
