- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: Minister for Finance and Office of the Revenue Commissioners (2 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: No. The Minister is used to talking about billions. When Revenue is setting out taxation for indigenous companies it has a strict methodology for that. Was a methodology used for Apple and other multinational companies?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: Minister for Finance and Office of the Revenue Commissioners (2 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: Does the Minister think it is right that, as a Government, we allow companies like Apple to set up phantom companies with no employees or assets? Does that not ring alarm bells? Why would a company do that? Is there something in legislation that we can do to stop that happening?

Rose Conway Walsh: I am not sure of the value of me continuing to ask questions when the crux of the matter cannot be dealt with here with the restrictions that are around it. However, I think we need to address a few things. The transcripts which this debacle centres around speak for themselves. On 30 November 1990, Apple's tax adviser met with Revenue Commissioners and stated that the company would be...

Rose Conway Walsh: Unfortunately some of these people are dead. They have taken their own lives because of the way that they felt they were hounded by Revenue.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: Minister for Finance and Office of the Revenue Commissioners (2 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: Did Revenue have full understanding and knowledge that by having the phantom company there, Apple was being facilitated to avoid paying tax? It is nothing to do with the branch.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: Minister for Finance and Office of the Revenue Commissioners (2 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: To me, a company with no employees, no assets and no activity is a phantom company.

Rose Conway Walsh: I understand that-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: Minister for Finance and Office of the Revenue Commissioners (2 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: I understand that but what is perplexing for people is that Revenue obviously advises Government, such as in the case of the section 110 tax arrangement. When Revenue discovered this arrangement - I cannot really understand how, given all of the people in Revenue, all of these things were not discovered earlier- and that it was being used and abused to relieve Irish citizens of up to...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: Minister for Finance and Office of the Revenue Commissioners (2 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: I completely understand the retrospective aspect of this, but would Mr. Cody expect that as soon as Revenue goes to Government to explain that the section 110 is being used and abused, and ask for the tax arrangement to be shut down, it should not have taken a number of months, and in some cases years, to shut it down?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: Minister for Finance and Office of the Revenue Commissioners (2 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: Mr. Cody is almost portraying the Revenue Commissioners as a spectator in all of this.
