- 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)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Who did have them? A company incorporated in Ireland but not tax-resident in Ireland had them. Is that not the case?
- 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)
Richard Boyd Barrett: We will move onto that, but I think we have clearly established that Apple Inc. did not, so it is a complete red herring for anybody to talk about it developing the intellectual property or in any way the tax being owed to it because it had sold the intellectual property to another company, which was incorporated in Ireland but not tax-resident in Ireland. Mr. Cody himself referred to ASI...
- 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)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Therefore, the branch, which has thousands of employees, an office, a headquarters and so on, is a branch of this company that holds the intellectual property rights but which has no staff and no office, and Mr. Cody says it carries out routine functions. What routine functions does it carry out if it has no staff and no office?

Richard Boyd Barrett: What I fail to believe or find credible is that Revenue could accept from Apple that this company, which is incorporated here but not tax-resident here, has any economic reality that would allow the branch to allocate the profits to it.

Richard Boyd Barrett: I do not accept it as credible. Even on that basis - and I think this is more or less what the CCTB attempts to do - even when Revenue was trying to assess what the Cork branch did, I think a reasonable understanding of this is that there is a place where the intellectual property is developed, then there is a hub for selling that intellectual property and then there are the countries into...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Constitutional Amendments (7 Feb 2017)
Richard Boyd Barrett: People Before Profit and the Anti-Austerity Alliance put forward a Bill proposing an immediate referendum on repealing the eighth amendment. The Government and Fianna Fáil voted it down last year on the basis that they would allow the Citizens' Assembly to examine the issue. Our view was that delaying a referendum and batting this issue to the Citizens' Assembly was a completely...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (7 Feb 2017)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Does the Taoiseach think it is ironic that Deputy Adams should attack People Before Profit in the name of jobs in the North when Sinn Féin, Fine Gael, the DUP and the Tories took specific action in supporting the Stormont House Agreement which condoned and set out the plan to axe 20,000 jobs in the public sector in the North? It was an austerity deal, an almost carbon copy of the one...
