The Irish government has facilitated tax
avoidance on a massive scale. So says the Sinn Fein MEP Matt Carthy. He criticised
Ireland during a debate on tax issues in the European Parliament this week. The
Midlands North-West MEP condemned the government for giving multi-national companies
like Google and Microsoft until 2021 to restructure their tax affairs. Speaking
after the debate, Mr Carthy said that Ireland is well known internationally for
its tax avoidance loopholes.
