The government has made “some progress” in discussions on a landmark global corporate tax accord but more talks are needed before Ireland can sign up to the proposed OECD plan, Paschal Donohoe has said.

The Minister for Finance will brief cabinet colleagues on the updated text of the proposed overhaul of corporate tax systems in the coming days as a decision on whether Ireland joins more than 130 countries in agreeing to the deal looms.
