Chapter 17 - Ireland Apple Escrow Fund (5 Nov 2020) Matt Carthy: I welcome Mr. Moran and his team. I will take up where he finished and thank all his staff and everybody in the Department who have been working during what has been a very challenging six or seven months at this stage. There is a lot of interest, as Mr. Moran knows, in the Apple escrow account and how it is managed. The sums of money involved are beyond people's imaginations. They are...

Chapter 17 - Ireland Apple Escrow Fund (5 Nov 2020) Matt Carthy: That was in 2019 in respect of the withholding tax. It seems strange because this is essentially in respect of the payment of experts, legal and otherwise.

Chapter 1 - Exchequer Financial Outturn for 2019
Chapter 17 - Ireland Apple Escrow Fund (5 Nov 2020) Matt Carthy: Part of the fear that people have is that because this fund is so large that sums of millions can be described as relatively small, pound signs will be shining on lots of the usual suspect, if you like. I wonder has Mr. Moran any fears because of the way in which the fund is managed. As he says, it is almost in the ether so nobody knows who is losing at the end of the day, whether it is...

Chapter 17 - Ireland Apple Escrow Fund (5 Nov 2020) Matt Carthy: Companies and individuals are paid directly out of the fund for a raft of different services. I understand that William Fry, for example, has received approximately €3 million. The current Attorney General had received €612,000 up to March of this year. Those are substantial sums of money. Could Mr. Moran give an indication of the type of work that would be conducted in...

Chapter 1 - Exchequer Financial Outturn for 2019
Chapter 17 - Ireland Apple Escrow Fund (5 Nov 2020) Matt Carthy: I am trying to figure out what is the actual cost to the Exchequer. It may have no bearing on the Irish State, depending what happens with the escrow fund. It may have a substantial bearing if we were to lose the case, ironically. I note from the Comptroller and Auditor General's report that €4.4 million is associated with costs to the State and other statutory bodies, apart from...

Chapter 17 - Ireland Apple Escrow Fund (5 Nov 2020) Matt Carthy: I note an issue regarding staff allocation. The Minister had delegated a number of banking system functions to the NTMA. That delegation was revoked in August 2011. The NTMA banking unit has now been seconded to the Department of Finance. The staff allocation appears to still be attributed to the NTMA. Why is this the case?
