- Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Joint Sub-Committee on Global Corporate Taxation: Ireland's Corporate Tax System: (Resumed) KPMG and Unite (28 May 2014)
Dara Murphy: I was very interested when Mr. Taft spoke about targeting certain industries - he mentioned the chemical and perhaps the pharmaceutical sectors - with some additional reliefs that might stimulate them to come into the country. This perhaps would move into a space in which other countries are to be found. I was interested to hear Mr. Taft say this because essentially, this would mean...
- Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Joint Sub-Committee on Global Corporate Taxation: Ireland's Corporate Tax System: (Resumed) KPMG and Unite (28 May 2014)
Dara Murphy: No, if one reduces the net tax through reliefs by targeting multinational companies in the chemical or pharmaceutical sectors, then QED, in comparative terms Irish indigenous small coffee shops and other limited companies will be paying more tax than them.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership Agreement: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jun 2014)
Dara Murphy: I welcome the delegates. My first question is to Dr. Raza, whose insight into these matters is very helpful. There is a consensus in Europe, and especially in countries like Ireland with small, open economies, that TTIP is unquestionably in our interest. Several of the points Dr. Raza has raised challenge those assumptions. Will he clarify whether his organisation is allied to any group...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership Agreement: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jun 2014)
Dara Murphy: In the study, all the potential costs of TTIP are highlighted, and Dr. Raza accepts those figures are estimates. There is little emphasis on the potential benefits, other than an observation that the increase in growth will be small. Does Dr. Raza accept that because Europe has bounced along without any growth in recent years, an increase of anywhere between half a percentage point and one...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership Agreement: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jun 2014)
Dara Murphy: However, is that not what would actually happen in reality? Are we engaging in semantics here? Employment and investment create growth and spending. In regard to the example Dr. Raza cited of intra-EU trade being reduced by virtue of TTIP, the reality is that the extension of the Common Market did the exact opposite to what he is suggesting. There are many aspects of the Union that can be...

Dara Murphy: My first question is to Mr. Lynch. The objective of this committee is an examination of where we are now, the BEPS process and where that might lead us. I welcome that Mr. Lynch believes that as a country we should embrace our open and transparent tax regime. He also mentioned that there are four areas about which we should be concerned. Perhaps he would elaborate on the issue of domestic...
