- Order of Business (20 Sep 2017)
Eamon Ryan: In an article in the Sunday Independentthe Taoiseach set out his vision for the country to 2027. Central to that was the national planning framework which he said would be published shortly. It was a bit of a one for everyone in the audience job which the oldest, cutest Fianna Fáil spin doctor in the past would have said was the right thing to do. Should we not debate the planning...

Eamon Ryan: Are MLAs included in the wording which the Seanad has agreed or may they take part in proceedings tomorrow?

Eamon Ryan: May I ask a question?
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ex-ante Scrutiny of Budget 2018: Nevin Economic Research Institute, Irish Congress of Trade Unions, Irish Tax Institute and Chambers Ireland (20 Sep 2017)
Eamon Ryan: I will be brief. I thank Dr. McDonnell for attending. Regarding the term "human capital", IBEC said something similar when it appeared before us yesterday. It wants more human capital in business. If I pay someone else to raise my children - I must be careful with my words, but I mean child care - that is developing human capital. If I care for the children myself, is that human capital?...

Eamon Ryan: We have the yellow button for that.
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ex-ante Scrutiny of Budget 2018: Nevin Economic Research Institute, Irish Congress of Trade Unions, Irish Tax Institute and Chambers Ireland (20 Sep 2017)
Eamon Ryan: I thank the witnesses for coming to the committee. I could not agree with them more on their joint thesis that we need to develop our indigenous economy. I am old enough to remember the Telesis report saying that. The Culliton report said it and the Enterprise Strategy Group report said it and during our own time in government the smarter Building Ireland's Smart Economy report said it....

Eamon Ryan: Is that for manufacture?
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ex-ante Scrutiny of Budget 2018: Nevin Economic Research Institute, Irish Congress of Trade Unions, Irish Tax Institute and Chambers Ireland (20 Sep 2017)
Eamon Ryan: Okay. So one quarter of our manufacturing material exports are chilled, boned beef.
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ex-ante Scrutiny of Budget 2018: Nevin Economic Research Institute, Irish Congress of Trade Unions, Irish Tax Institute and Chambers Ireland (20 Sep 2017)
Eamon Ryan: We have come a long way from the 1930s when we were sending live exports; now we are sending it chilled and boned. It is not just that it is the number one export, the fact that it accounts for one quarter of our product is a startling figure.
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ex-ante Scrutiny of Budget 2018: Nevin Economic Research Institute, Irish Congress of Trade Unions, Irish Tax Institute and Chambers Ireland (20 Sep 2017)
Eamon Ryan: Yes. We live in a world where I believe capital has too much power. In the negotiated position of the various factors of production, and because capital can move so fast and is so transferable, it has huge power over labour. Natural capital does not move so it is completely undermined in the current economic system that we have. Everything is designed to support the interests of capital...

Eamon Ryan: I will cut them down to one question.
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ex-ante Scrutiny of Budget 2018: Nevin Economic Research Institute, Irish Congress of Trade Unions, Irish Tax Institute and Chambers Ireland (20 Sep 2017)
Eamon Ryan: Can measures be targeted? If the capital tax rules are reduced in line with what the witnesses are suggesting and I buy shares in IBM that subsequently increase in value, I will pay a lower capital gains tax on them. Similar to Deputy Broughan's point, could there not be targeted measures for Irish exporting companies in terms of funding and so on? It would be a more specific model. I...

Eamon Ryan: Was our rate at the time approximately 20%?
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ex-ante Scrutiny of Budget 2018: Nevin Economic Research Institute, Irish Congress of Trade Unions, Irish Tax Institute and Chambers Ireland (20 Sep 2017)
Eamon Ryan: But it did not develop our foreign direct investment sector. I have a related question. If I earned profit on an IBM share, would I benefit just as much under this measure?
