Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

What is the likely timeline of the investigation into Apple? Given the fact that there is about to be a changeover in the Commission, will the investigation continue afterwards? The Minister was correct to state that it was only into one company, but he knows that an adverse finding in this case would have implications for all of our multinationals and, most importantly, our ability to attract inward investment. I get a sense that the Government is sleepwalking through this issue. It is nine months since the initial probe was launched and we are now into a formal probe. Has the Minister received any informal indication that other companies may be investigated?

In the commentary in the US, particularly as it approaches election season, Ireland regularly comes in for disparaging and uninformed remarks from politicians in Congress.

Will the Minister confirm that our corporation tax arrangements and rules are in accordance with the OECD guidelines on taxation?
