Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Let me finish. The Minister asked me a question so let me finish. We are not talking about Apple versus the corner shop. We are talking about households for a start.

The Minister can shake his head but he outlined to Deputy Boyd Barrett that was one of the...

Sorca Clarke: ...somewhat perplexed by the Government amendment in which the Minister sees fit to compare firefighters to other staff in local authorities.

Press reports this summer told us that European Court of Justice hearings were expected by Department officials to take place this autumn, paving the way for a final ruling next year on the Apple tax case.

...is the key concern. There is also the issue of ensuring there is balance on the board. If we fix those two key issues, will we fix the problems we currently have?

...have another referendum in the next year I would have told them they were talking nonsense. Brexit changed everything. It might work back to some of the issues that Mr. McCord raised.

Ms Andrea Feeney: Looking at other jurisdictions and how quickly results are available, there is an element of comparing apples and oranges. They do things differently in those jurisdictions.
