- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Statement of Strategy 2017: Department of Finance (19 Jan 2017)
Paddy Burke: Credit unions have a substantial amount of money to invest. I believe it is up to €10 billion. They say they could offer it to various Departments to invest at a low interest rate but there is no uptake on the offer from the Department of Finance or any other Department.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Statement of Strategy 2017: Department of Finance (19 Jan 2017)
Paddy Burke: There is a substantial infrastructural deficit in the country. The credit union movement has said there has been no uptake on its offer from any Department. It still has €10 billion to invest at a low interest rate. The money obviously comes from deposits the credit unions have taken in. That is the reality.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Statement of Strategy 2017: Department of Finance (19 Jan 2017)
Paddy Burke: I believe there was a High Court case on the second home tax that was introduced a number of years ago on the basis that it was not tax deductible. The person who took the case won it. Has the Department taken that into consideration in terms of how it might affect the tax on second homes or investment properties?

- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jan 2017)
Paddy Burke: I, too, support the comments made about the former deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness, and wish him well in his retirement.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs (24 Jan 2017)
Paddy Burke: I welcome the Commissioner and his staff. He says that when the CCCTB system is in operation, there will be a growth rate of 1.2% and extra investment of €90 billion across Europe. Does that include the United Kingdom?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs (24 Jan 2017)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs (24 Jan 2017)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs (24 Jan 2017)
Paddy Burke: Of course, it is, but the Commissioner is not saying how much will be generated by it. It is a global figure. It is fictitious. Mr. Moscovici makes a strong case for a single tax rate across the EU and argues that it would be much simpler and easier to operate. Is it correct to say that if it was simplified, there would be a wholesale loss of accountancy and legal jobs?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business and Banking: Discussion. (26 Jan 2017)
Paddy Burke: I welcome the three groups. What advantage does Mr. Ó Muilleaneoir see in setting up this type of bank? A number of years ago, when some new banks were coming into the country, I spoke in the Seanad and said in Castlebar alone there were 14 or 15 outlets where one could get money. Although people said it was good for competition. I did not take that view. I could not see how a small...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business and Banking: Discussion. (26 Jan 2017)
