uncompetitive position, it sucked jobs out of the united states when our businesses moved to places like dublin, irelands only 12.5%. we believe and i love austin's response to this that if you get those rates down -- by the way, president obama proposed a reduction as you recall, austin, in the business tax rate, it didn't happen unfortunately, but you get those rates down i think that sucking sound is going to be, michael, those jobs and businesses coming back to america and that's what it's really all about. >> austin, you can respond, but i want you to talk about in addition to what steven just raised is it only about tax policy? it seems to me there are many more intangibles that govern whether the economy is go to grow. go ahead. >> look, michael, that's exactly correct. a, the u.s. has the highest rate on the books and our companies do not pay that rate. if you look at how much corporate profits are as a share of the economy, they are the highest they've ever been and the actual taxes paid by american companies are below average for high income countries. if you look around the world, as you say,

i went off to the wicklow hills, ireland and the bar in dublin where she sat with hyde and look back at her life and discussed are many missions. i went to spain, madrid, valencia. at this time, the civil war was not happening. bullets were not whizzing through the air, bombers were not up in the sky, and menacing armies were not perhaps laying around each bend as betty navigated the streets and towns of france. i went to washington, d.c. to georgetown, where betty had performed many of her most important missions. as i relived her past, as i followed in her footsteps, i was surprised. i had gone off on this mission not having too much respect for betty. as i said, she had been a complicated -- a disastrous, a terrible parent. she betrayed two husbands, she was a difficult daughter, and i had not much sympathy to her. i'm the father of three children, i could not quite understand the choices she had made. but the end of my journey following in her footsteps, i began to have respect for her. i began to have a great deal of admiration for her courage and patriotism and for the service

has said in that regard and what the secretary of state in northern ireland james brokenshire has said in that regard, that is dublin'so believe, britain will start to control her own borders if this one essentially remains soft and porous? this is a matter entirely for the british government in the context of negotiations. from our perspective here in ireland, we must acknowledge the centrality of the good friday agreement, the belfast agreement, a legally binding internationally recognised document which brought an end to hostilities here in northern ireland. we saw deaths of over 3000 people in a 30 year period. the good friday agreement remains the foundation stone of our peace, and anything adverse to that agreement will not be acceptable. i wonder, so on a very personal level, we saw donald tusk seem close to tears over the triggering of article 50. did you feel something akin to that? do you worry that you are losing a major ally at this point? ifelt very sad and i believe i'm speaking on behalf of the majority of the irish people when i say that we felt very sad about the decision of the british people to leav

this morning in dublin, they gathered together for a press conference to talk about some of these grievances publicly, but one of the issues has been that the football association of irelandt want to deal with the players union, they wa nt to deal with the players union, they want to deal with the players directly, and the players don't want this, that's why they have held this press c0 nfe re nce this, that's why they have held this press conference this morning. this, that's why they have held this press conference this morninglj think we need to recognise that the women's international team is being treated not as a second—class citizen, as a fifth class citizen. they are the dirt off the fa i's shoe, that's how they see them. —— the fai. we have been given our kit at the airport, open our personal bags, but our kit in, met the girls en route to the final destination in london, for all five had to go and get changed in the toilets, and en route back as well so this highlights the lack of respect. it is not a lot we are looking for, it is not a lot we are looking for, it isjust basics. it took is not a lot we are looking for, it is just basics. it took something is not

ireland. talk us through some of your members, who are now seeing opportunities and the impact of this shift. talk us through those. well, there might be a relocation of some institutions to dublinn and in retail, and something will pick up on that. in a chamber, we have also seen more contact from members seeking help in diverse of buying both their markets and product development. so while people are still reliant on the uk, those businesses are also looking to see how to mitigate that. suddenly i heard from quite a few analysts, and also company bosses that i have spoken to since june also company bosses that i have spoken to sincejune last year, they have said that many working here that dublin is the place to relocate to or to have a european hq, as it were. have you seen a lot of activity from that point of view? we have. a lot of people make that initial assessment. there are certainly been some pressure coming on the office—based, but we do expect to see that accelerating, but a glen abbey processor started. thank you forjoining us this morning. we will keep a close eye on what is going on. —— but now especially now be process has started. —— the process. it's the final

ireland says it's deeply disappointed with the players threat despite repeated offers to engage with the squad. niamh fahey, who's won more than 50 caps for her country, was among those protesting in dublinad made an approach it depends on the language that is used. we have stated in the last few months that we would like them to represent us as months that we would like them to represent us as a months that we would like them to represent us as a body of players, andi represent us as a body of players, and i think we are entitled to this. many other countries have done this, such as canada, australia, the english women's team. we've asked them to go to the fai, to speak with them, and there's been a flat—out refusal. they try to approach us as players, we have said that we wanted the fai to represent us. they seem to not want to engage in talks with them, for some reason. i'm not sure. how difficult is it to see the facilities that the men's team have compared to what you have? there have been a lot of comparisons drawn, you understand that the man generate a lot more income than the women do. what we are asking for is just the basics, really. we have a lot of amateur players with us on
