Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Future Ireland Fund and Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund Bill 2024: Committee Stage (1 May 2024)

Pearse Doherty: ...before into everybody in the finance committee that GDP is not the measure of our economy but GNI* is and we all use that reference now. When we are dealing with this legislation, however, we revert to GDP, which is an issue in itself. It is not the big issue, however, because if one uses GNI*, one could use a different level and GDP captures some of these corporation windfall taxes in a...

Finance Bill 2023: Second Stage (21 Mar 2023)

Pearse Doherty: ...accepted this assessment and the view was there was no case for the temporary 9% rate to remain. I ask the Minister to publish this briefing because the discussion surrounding this measure will re-emerge on the date it is due to revert to 13.5%, as that approaches at the end of August. We need full transparency. He should publish the assessment and let us have a proper informed...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Tax Collection (24 Jan 2023)

Pearse Doherty: ...incentivise a reduction in prices. The total cost of the measure to the end of February will be €902 million. Has the Department undertaken analysis of the economic impact in 2023 if the rate reverts back to 13.5%? It is important that if such an increase happens, we are absolutely assured that the benefits outweigh the costs to the taxpayer, the sectors concerned and employment....

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (17 Nov 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I do not want a report either but it is the only way we can table this issue. I want the Minister to take action and revert the measure. I want the banks, AIB and Bank of Ireland, which will make significant profits, to pay tax on those profits by limiting the volume of losses that can be carried forward in a given year, but he is not going to do that. I have read the report but I still do...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (17 Nov 2021)

Pearse Doherty: ...homes and to enter into long-term leasing arrangements, the nonsense of knocking down derelict or ghost estates, and how we would have a housing crisis, the prices of homes within ten years would revert to where they were prior to the crash and people would be evicted from their homes because landlords would sell up. This was not crystal ball stuff and someone did not need to be a genius....

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (17 Nov 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I will revert to this matter on Report Stage.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages and Differential Pricing in Insurance: Discussion (19 Nov 2019)

Pearse Doherty: I will outline my personal experience of getting my renewal premium. I shop around every year but I have always reverted to the original company to say I have found a better offer, and in fairness it has always matched it. For the sake of not having to change paperwork, I have always found a better quote. On the records of the company, however, I would be considered to have stayed with it...

Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Permanent TSB (9 Apr 2019)

Pearse Doherty: ...he has said is contrary to what he said previously when we quizzed the matter. I do not have the transcripts before me but from memory the suggestion from Permanent TSB was that until borrowers reverted to the original contract, the loan would be deemed non-performing. That was the assertion Permanent TSB made.

Finance Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (21 Nov 2018)

Pearse Doherty: ...for a report on restoring the 80% cap on intangible assets that were onshored between 2015 and 2017 which can be written off against profits at a rate of 100%. Those intangible assets that were onshored after 2017 revert to the 80% rate. Prior to 2015, a rate of 80% was all that was allowed. We know the history of this and I discussed it at length with the Minister during the debate on...

Finance Bill 2018: Report Stage (20 Nov 2018)

Pearse Doherty: ...in a significant number of new jobs. The Government threw caution to the wind and refused to apply a cap. We welcome that the Minister is at least recognising the folly of the Government's mistake and reverting to the position of having a cap in the legislation. However, as my colleague pointed out, the scheme should be abolished. There is an onus on the Minister to explain how the...

Financial Resolutions 2019 - Budget Statement 2019 (9 Oct 2018)

Pearse Doherty: ...could not have absorbed the increase and would leave the other firms continuing to operate in our society. We will deal with that in the finance Bill. Fair taxes must also be stable and have a clear and transparent intent. The decision to lower the VAT rate to 9% on hotels was broadly welcomed and reflected the difficulties facing the tourism industry at the time. It should have ended...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Permanent TSB (14 Jun 2018)

Pearse Doherty: ...Ombudsman because of what Permanent TSB did, informed the bank of what it was doing. It denied my relative a tracker rate when it was in black and white in the conditions that the bank was to revert to a tracker rate. The answer coming back on the phone - coming from management down - was that my relative was not entitled to a tracker mortgage. I was there and I saw the tears. I...

Written Answers — Department of Public Expenditure and Reform: National Lottery Funding Disbursement (6 Mar 2018)

Pearse Doherty: 62. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the reason under the new licence for the national lottery, all unclaimed money does not revert to the prize fund; the value of these moneys since the new licence came into place; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10513/18]

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Bank of Ireland (30 Jan 2018)

Pearse Doherty: They would have been communicated with. On existing staff mortgage accounts - the staff two-year fixed rate - it states that they would revert to tracker mortgages. The bank's staff are watching these hearings. I received an email from one staff of member who is in this cohort that the bank has deemed non-impacted, which means that it will not give them back the money that they are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Bank of Ireland (30 Jan 2018)

Pearse Doherty: If they fixed at the original point of the mortgage but with an entitlement in the documentation, in the mortgage form of authorisation, MFA, that they would revert to a tracker at the end of the fixed period and then, at the end of the fixed period, they fixed again, are they still entitled to tracker?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Bank of Ireland (30 Jan 2018)

Pearse Doherty: The reason I say this is that, usually, the contract will state that at the end of the fixed period, the person will revert to the tracker rate. More than likely, however, at the second MFA, because trackers were withdrawn at the time, when they fixed for the second time, they would not have had that obligation. That is what we are talking about here. The reason they fixed the second time...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base: Discussion (25 Jan 2018)

Pearse Doherty: ..., as Mr. Juncker wants, and as Mr. Lamassoure has just argued, once that decision was made, would there be any changes to the proposal at a future date be by qualified majority voting or would it revert back decision through unanimity?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Allied Irish Banks (23 Jan 2018)

Pearse Doherty: I ask Mr. Byrne to revert to the committee on that.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Local Property Tax and Commercial Stamp Duty: Department of Finance (16 Jan 2018)

Pearse Doherty: I will revert to the question. How long does the Department expect it to continue? Mr. Hogan's statement says "it seems reasonable to expect this level of activity is sustainable and for it to continue". How long is it expected to continue? Is it that we will get over 2018, we will have €9 billion of property transactions, we will meet the target and it will then drop back to what...
