Kieran O'Donnell: Fr. Healy is not looking at this in an holistic way. The taxes that are paid are a combination of corporation tax, VAT - in many cases multinationals would not be paying this in terms of exports - PAYE and PRSI in respect of the people they employ.

Will Dr. Healy give me the headline figures as to where that €2.6...

What we put forward was reasonable and what Deputy Pearse Doherty put forward was reasonable. In that spirit, we abstained on the vote.

Kieran O'Donnell: It is regrettable that even though there is general consensus among the members about the subject, Deputy Dooley is pushing a proposal to a vote. Some of the language is unnecessary and takes from the overall motion.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Business of Joint Committee (11 Sep 2013)
Kieran O'Donnell: It is important that the message go out that the committee is in favour of the general proposal. Deputy Dooley's pressing of the motion to a vote goes against the spirit of the work of the committee over many years.
