"If you look at the type of companies we have in Ireland, they are in volatile sectors. "The current example we see today is Novo Nordisk and its contribution to the Danish economy," the Ifac chair and UCC lecturer noted. "Around 80-85% of Ireland's corporate tax receipts come from US companies," Mr Coffey noted in a panel discussion.
