Finance Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (5 Nov 2014)

John Deasy: I will focus on measures in the Bill which relate to what is commonly referred to as the double Irish tax arrangement.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Nov 2014)

John Deasy: Let us run through it. The university is effectively repeating the line that it can avoid this issue because of the contract. Is that the case?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Nov 2014)

John Deasy: Technically, under regulations and legislatively, there may not be an onus on UCC to pay the subcontractor in this case. It is, however, a question of fairness. It is a question of a large entity knowing that works were carried out well and that given amounts of money are owed, yet it has effectively ignored this on the basis of the contract drawn up. It is fair enough that there is a...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Nov 2014)

John Deasy: Let us think it through. Is the legislation specifically geared towards Departments, State agencies or entities funded by the State? If it covers entities funded by the State to a certain degree, does it kick in when it comes to such companies?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Nov 2014)

John Deasy: To all intents and purposes, the merger is dead. An announcement was made by the board of governors in Waterford to the effect that it no longer wished to pursue the application jointly. What is the substantive point of the correspondence received so far?

John Deasy: The point of this was-----

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Nov 2014)

John Deasy: Yes. We asked the Comptroller and Auditor General about the costs and the answer we received was there are substantial costs involved with a joint application. It is something over which the committee has jurisdiction. People in Carlow and Waterford are really interested in finding out about who knew about the process while it was not evolving, at what point was it, in effect, a broken...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Nov 2014)

John Deasy: The timeline here is important. Everybody wants a particular entity to come before the committee yesterday, but there is a schedule and there are only a certain number of weeks available.
