@thomasforth The 133% average earnings is just under €70k the marginal personal tax on that is 40% IC plus 3% USC (8% from just over €70k) plus 4.2% PRSI so either 47.2% or 52.2% marginal rate depending on which side of the USC band you take. I would argue lowering would be pro growth.

@thomasforth I should also add that Ireland is a pretty clear cut case of how lower taxation (corporation tax) is a factor in better economic performance. There are not many economists who would disagree with that.

[Richard Neuling @RichardNeuling]

@thomasforth I was excluding employer contributions as I understood you are making a comparison of personal tax burden. If you are comparing cost of doing business you would need to include other business taxation such as corporation tax which is clearly much lower in Ireland,

@ciarannugent Yes it is he’s referring to the marginal rate

[Richard Neuling @RichardNeuling]

@ciarannugent @Jordan_W_Taylor He’s talking about the marginal rate not the overall percentage deduction and he’s correct

@SineadOS1 This is nonsense Sinead what do you think the RSA, NTA, TII do ? Ireland has world leading ‘structural architecture’ when it comes to road safety.

@g_gosden Yes indeed it shows very clearly that education and common sense are two very different things

[Richard Neuling @RichardNeuling]

@danobrien20 Could not agree more Dan. The Irish tax system in total needs a thorough overhaul. It is unsustainable to have such a large proportion paying little or no income tax.

@DaveThroup Ok Dave still not convinced on your science point

[Richard Neuling @RichardNeuling]

@DaveThroup So you think there would be no effect then ? Funny why you’re getting so worked up about it

[Richard Neuling @RichardNeuling]

@colinwalker79 You obviously haven’t seen much

[Richard Neuling @RichardNeuling]

@ProfBillMcGuire Not really it’s just nonsense

[Richard Neuling @RichardNeuling]

@fionaharvey So the question you should be asking actually Fiona is what is the alternative and which is the better choice ?

@eoinyk That’s great Eoin explain to me how we run an economy solely on renewable energy

[Richard Neuling @RichardNeuling]

@renewablesmiffy She cared enough to vote based on the evidence presented I would assume ?

[Richard Neuling @RichardNeuling]

@ZackPolanski Zack you clearly have no idea what you are commenting on just give it a rest

[Richard Neuling @RichardNeuling]

@ret_ward Global net zero really ?
