Growing controversy over corporation tax this morning. The Ulster unionist party and NI conservatives have called for Sinn Fein to make clear their position on the whether they are in favour in cutting the tax. On Wednesday night's 'Good Friday Agreement Generation' show Sinn Fein's Chris Hazzard was challenged by on the issue of cutting corporation tax. His answer seemed to suggest the policy isn't set in stone. His comments were echoed by senior Sinn Fein politician Alex Maskey who tweeted, "Chris Hazzard makes clear that corporation tax cuts are wholly dependent on affordability and quality jobs created". On last night's the View programme Mark Carruthers asked the Deputy first Minister if he was still convinced a reduction in corporation tax was the best thing for the economy here. So what is Sinn Fein's position on corporation tax? Is the party sending mixed messages? Stephen got the views of CBI director Nigel Smyth who doesn't think the seemingly different messages from Sinn Fein are helpful, and economist Paul Gosling, is Sinn fein split over corporation tax?
