GOOD MORNING. There’s no questioning that it’s Sunday, March 27, 2011 (that is, at least, if you’re in Ireland at the time of writing). But did your phone or alarm clock automatically put itself an hour forward at 1am? It might have – so you may want to check it against something else. At the time of writing, it’s now 8:13am in Ireland. Welcome to summer? Well, let’s hope so. Poll: Should we stay on Summer Time for good?

Poll: Should Ireland abandon Winter Time – or change time zone altogether?
The government’s shelved any investigation into whether we should change – so we wonder what you think.

Poll: Should Ireland be tougher on multi-national companies when it comes to tax?
AT A HIGH-profile US Senate meeting, technology giant Apple was accused of using Ireland as a ‘tax haven’.
The multinational firm, which employs 4,000 people in Ireland, reportedly avoided paying €34 billion in US taxes by negotiating a tax rate of less than 2 per cent with the Irish government – significantly lower than that nation’s 12.5 per cent statutory rate.
The Senate heard that American children are losing out on education because Apple is transferring profits to Irish subsidiaries.
However, the Taoiseach Enda Kenny has denied that Ireland is a tax haven and rejected claims that authorities had negotiated deals with multi-national companies.
So, today we want to know, what do you think? Should Ireland be tougher on multi-national companies when it comes to tax?
