- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (7 Nov 2013)
Kieran O'Donnell: I might as well ask one or two quick questions. On the firewall fund, I did a quick calculation. If one can gear that up by three times its value, one is probably talking about €180 billion. It was stated there would be another firewall. What does the Department anticipate will be the total firewall on this fund?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (7 Nov 2013)
Kieran O'Donnell: The final point, I suppose, goes to the heart of the matter. The biggest issue in Ireland was the cost to the taxpayer, the ordinary person. The banks themselves did not have the capital to soak up the losses. The SRM proposal, which talks of eliminating taxpayers' exposure, appears to indicate that the state-aid procedures will run in parallel. The bottom-line question is, under the...

Kieran O'Donnell: I call Deputy Fleming.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Local Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue (7 Nov 2013)
Kieran O'Donnell: The problem is that the legislation states 1 January. People are entitled to a choice. The Revenue Commissioners have made that known in respect of the service providers. It is up to people to decide what they want to do and providing that clarity today has been very important.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Local Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue (7 Nov 2013)
Kieran O'Donnell: This is about information. Will Ms Feehily put the position on the record again for the public? What is the position with regard to people who want to use a debit card, credit card or cheque to make the payment on 1 January? Can she clarify that if a person is submitting manually by 14 January he can write that on the form, and that is fine as long as he makes the payment before 1 January?...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Local Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue (7 Nov 2013)
Kieran O'Donnell: Will Ms Feehily reiterate precisely the position with regard to manual payment, older people and people who operate online in the current year? I realise the Revenue Commissioners will review it next year. In the current year these people have been afforded the opportunity of not having to pay until 1 January. What routes can they use to do that manually and online?

Kieran O'Donnell: Apologies, Chairman.

Kieran O'Donnell: The letter did not mention 1 January.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Local Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue (7 Nov 2013)
Kieran O'Donnell: I ask the Chairman to let me know when I have a minute remaining. Confusion has arisen from the letter that issued. Section 119 of the legislation states the tax is due on or before 1 January. However, the letters that issued to ordinary taxpayers make no mention of 1 January - it is the only date missing from the letter. I would have thought that was a glaring oversight. If people are...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Local Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue (7 Nov 2013)
Kieran O'Donnell: Revenue works under the legislation, which states that the payment is not due until 1 January. The problem is that a person using the online system who wishes to pay by credit or debit credit card cannot state that preference without paying now. However, under the legislation the payment is not due until 1 January. There is a glaring contradiction in that. This is about practicalities. ...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Local Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue (7 Nov 2013)
Kieran O'Donnell: Older people have a bigger problem with this. Can Ms Feehily give a commitment that they can go along before 14 November and do not wish to pay until 1 January? In some cases it may suit people to hold out until 1 January and under the legislation they are not required to pay until 1 January. Can they write on the manual form that they will be paying by cheque and the cheque will reach...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Local Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue (7 Nov 2013)
Kieran O'Donnell: Under the manual system, people can write on it, submit the form and they can pay on 1 January. I am working from the legislation. Revenue does not want to separate the payment from the filing which is fine.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Local Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue (7 Nov 2013)
Kieran O'Donnell: Will Revenue allow that people, who want to do it by direct debit, to do it from the 27th and the people who want do it by debit or credit card to do it on 1 January?
