"Ireland only taxes the profits of such enterprises [petroleum exploration and production]. There is no per unit tax or levy as in other countries and Ireland's tax rate is relatively low. The State also does not take an ownership stake in the field or demand royalties. Thus on this basis, Ireland's tax regime is generous in comparison to that of other countries. "
Journalist Michael McCaughan, who has written extensively on the Shell to Sea campaign, and Paul Lynch from the Rossport Solidarity Camp will give a talk on the campaign against Shell's disastrous Corrib gas project and the giveaway of Ireland's natural resources.
