Chapter 16 - Deferral of Tobacco Stamp Liability (1 Jun 2017) Catherine Murphy: The director of the HSE was before the committee in 2015 and said he had concerns about consultants having contracts in public hospitals, such as St. Vincent's, when they were not supposed to. He said 56% of consultants had such contracts. Would the Revenue Commissioners have looked at these data? There is a mixture of PAYE and additional income and if a person spends only 56% of his or...

Chapter 16 - Deferral of Tobacco Stamp Liability (1 Jun 2017) Catherine Murphy: I ask because if they have considerable private practice and are also working in the public system it may draw attention to the amount of revenue they can get, there being only so many hours in the day.

Chapter 16 - Deferral of Tobacco Stamp Liability (1 Jun 2017) Catherine Murphy: My next question is on large corporations and tax planning. I refer to practices such as channel stuffing and sweet trucks. I have had a conversation with several people about the situation. Essentially, my description of it is that it is a kind of limbo environment. There is neither inventory nor sales at the end of a year but there is product that is sitting on one of those sweet trucks...

Chapter 16 - Deferral of Tobacco Stamp Liability (1 Jun 2017) Catherine Murphy: I imagine that if those particular things are happening, they would relate to tax avoidance rather than tax evasion.

Chapter 16 - Deferral of Tobacco Stamp Liability (1 Jun 2017) Catherine Murphy: I will move on to a few other points. The Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, ODCE, has a particular function in relation to companies. Is there any data sharing in relation to complaints that are made with the ODCE that would have a tax implication?

Chapter 16 - Deferral of Tobacco Stamp Liability (1 Jun 2017) Catherine Murphy: When a new scheme is introduced such as the research and development tax credit scheme, which went from just over €70 million to more than €500 million, a substantial increase, it could have been anticipated that it would increase given that there is a lead-in time for research and development. Is there an appropriate system evaluation done at that stage on the risks and...

Chapter 16 - Deferral of Tobacco Stamp Liability (1 Jun 2017) Catherine Murphy: The Revenue sheriff is governed under a very old Act dating back to the 1920s. In the UK, there is much more up-to-date legislation and codes of conduct in that entire area. Is Mr. Cody entirely happy with the current regime or is legislation required to bring anything up to speed? I rely on people coming to me with information or complaints. One must always have fair treatment as well....

Chapter 16 - Deferral of Tobacco Stamp Liability (1 Jun 2017) Catherine Murphy: I have a final question on tobacco yields. There are a very significant number of illegal imports. Mr. Cody is in a position to know what is brought in and how much of it is illegal. I wish nobody smoked and I completely accept there is a serious public health issue. Is there a tipping point at which it becomes counterproductive because more illegal material comes in and people avoid...

- Nomination of Taoiseach (Resumed) (14 Jun 2017)
Catherine Murphy: In the first instance, I wish to be associated with the remarks of Deputy Boyd Barrett on the terrible tragedy that is unfolding in London today as we sit here. Today is a very important day for Ireland. It would be churlish not to acknowledge the progress in Irish societal attitudes that has facilitated the ascent of the Minister, Deputy Varadkar, a man who may be considered to have...

- Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government (14 Jun 2017)
Catherine Murphy: I read with interest the manifesto of the new Taoiseach, particularly where he described Fine Gael as a compassionate party that was committed to open rather than closed politics. He used the foreword to tell us that as a young man he had been attracted to Fine Gael because he had been inspired by what he described as the party's "unshakeable integrity" in how politics should operate....

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (14 Jun 2017) Catherine Murphy: After Mr. McGee wrote the report in 2008, what did he expect to occur? Did he expect all of his recommendations to be taken on board? His report contained serious stuff about the sports field account and the restaurant and all of the things that have subsequently emerged. He talked about the Companies Act. He flagged a number of things that have subsequently brought the college in...
