Quotes

He said: "I don't think companies should decide what tax policies should be. I think governments should."
...a weapon that others weren't using," said Richard Murphy, founder of the Tax Justice Network, a group in London that campaigns against tax havens. "So Ireland developed a twofold strategy: low rates and not too many questions. It became the conduit state of choice."
"One of the key recommendations of the report was the introduction of a two-tier child benefit system. The End Child Poverty Coalition is a partnership of eight prominent non-governmental organisations working together in combatting child poverty, while the NWCI is the representative organisation for women and women's groups in Ireland, with almost 200 member organisations. The meeting tomorrow will explore the distinct perspectives of the Coalition and the Council on what policy approaches they see as necessary in social welfare supports for families."
And so henceforth "Our monetary system, our commercial agreements, our industrial practices, indeed, the whole of our national economy, will have applied to them the acid test--do they produce employment or unemployment?"
