It would be insane to increase the corporate tax rate. Incidentally, it's not only the multinationals that gain from that tax rate - it also applies to even the tiniest exporter.

The real horror in Ireland is that this Budget will increase the division between rich and poor.

For many years Ireland had a relatively small gap between the richest and the poorest. Everyone was entitled to a good education and good medical care.

Now, because of the greed of the wealthy for more wealth, our country has been dstroyed.
