Social Welfare Bill 2022: Second Stage (22 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: We have to put this Bill in context. It is in the context of the Social Welfare Bill and the Finance Bill, of the announcements made on budget day and the resources this Government has been able to gather from the people of Ireland and those people who invest in Ireland to create wealth so that we can redistribute it. At the beginning of Covid-19 many people would have said it would be...

Dublin City Safety Initiatives and Other Services: Statements (17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I echo the comments of my colleagues from Dublin regarding how proud we are of the city. When we talk about its problems, we are often serving to denigrate the city we are all passionate about. I am very proud of Dublin. I am proud of its representatives when they play in Croke Park, when I visit many of the community projects here and when I travel to other cities and see what we do well....

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: The Government has a very strong ambition to decarbonise the taxi fleet and it has in place a grant for taxi drivers to do so.

Paul McAuliffe: I welcome Mr. Hogan and his team. Let us start with the external factors. Today, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer will introduce austerity measures amounting to nearly £24 billion and increase taxation by something similar. From an Irish perspective, this is in direct contrast with the €11 billion cost-of-living package we were able to put in place a number of weeks ago...

Paul McAuliffe: That point is well made. It was never about the rate and was always about the certainty. The Department expects that corporation tax receipts will increase next year. Is there a similar expectation that income tax receipts will increase as well?

Paul McAuliffe: Before we move on to that, what I am trying to calculate is the lag. At this point, we expect an increase next year, in both corporation tax and ICT. We can see the ICT sector making shifts at this point and I imagine the changes in the interest rate environment will have impacts in other sectors as well. Could that have an impact on the overall Irish taxation system in 2023 or 2024? Is...

Paul McAuliffe: Our time is limited, and our guests were going to outline how we could change that risk. That figure of 500,000 workers in ten firms is stark. The capacity of the economy is such that if there are ten top firms, it is inevitable that the figure will be of that order no matter what we do as an economy. How can we prevent a cumulative collapse in both corporation tax and ICT? Is it a case...
