Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: Minister for Finance and Office of the Revenue Commissioners
9:30 am
Mr. Niall Cody:
Again, the Commission has published the case for the prosecution and has put its case very well. The press conference that the Commission held on 30 August had a particular presentation as well, and ultimately that is its case. There is a raft of documentation which seeks to rebut that which is not yet on the public record. I cannot put it on the public record now or discuss the detail of that documentation. It might be helpful to point out to the committee that we are engaged in a legal process involving submissions and counter-submissions. We are not even in the first half of the match yet and ultimately it will be played out in a different forum.
