(17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: That point is well made. It was never about the rate and was always about the certainty. The Department expects that corporation tax receipts will increase next year. Is there a similar expectation that income tax receipts will increase as well?

Paul McAuliffe: Will Mr. McCarthy point out the figure for the percentage of the overall income tax take paid by those high-income earners?

(17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: Before we move on to that, what I am trying to calculate is the lag. At this point, we expect an increase next year, in both corporation tax and ICT. We can see the ICT sector making shifts at this point and I imagine the changes in the interest rate environment will have impacts in other sectors as well. Could that have an impact on the overall Irish taxation system in 2023 or 2024? Is...

(17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: Our time is limited, and our guests were going to outline how we could change that risk. That figure of 500,000 workers in ten firms is stark. The capacity of the economy is such that if there are ten top firms, it is inevitable that the figure will be of that order no matter what we do as an economy. How can we prevent a cumulative collapse in both corporation tax and ICT? Is it a case...

(17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I do not mean to editorialise what Mr. McCarthy is saying, but does he mean the rainy day fund may be used in 2023 or, more likely, in 2024 and that that rainy day fund is there to buffer against what might happen in that period?

(17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I have been a Member of this House for two and a half years and I am yet to have a month when we have not had a shock, between Covid and everything else. I might move on to the interest rate environment and we can return to the other issues later. Mortgage holders are seeing increases in their mortgages, and people who might have had mortgages of the order of €1,200 a month are now...

(17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I think I saw a figure suggesting that almost 90% of our debt has a maturity beyond five years. I would be concerned about the portion that has a shorter period than that because, obviously, interest rates are increasing. Has the Department crunched numbers for what impact the recent increase in interest rates will have on borrowing this year or next year?

Paul McAuliffe: My question related to the sum allocated to the rainy day fund.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I will explore that point. The concern was that test cases were being used. Mr. McCarthy said there was no evidence in the sample he examined of a test case being applied across a whole sector. Is that fair?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: There are issues with the word, "test". When the courts are determining between a contract of service or a contract for services, they use a number of tests such as integration and control tests. That is separate from the use of the word "test" in the example that we have used.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: The courts use the term "test" but those are the criteria. Is there any evidence that criteria are being used for industries or were questions pursued and a response given in each case looked at?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: What was the size of the sample?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: Did that sample cover some of the sectors of concern?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: Did any of the cases cover the delivery driver sector?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Regulations: Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I ceded Deputy Higgins's time without acknowledging her.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Regulations: Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I would reflect on the points Deputy Higgins made about the scale and the numbers involved, for both those in receipt of temporary protection and those seeking international protection. Ireland has no control over those numbers. We are in receipt of those people. They come to our shores and airports and they seek international protection. In the case of those coming from Ukraine, they are...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Energy Policy (16 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: 64. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment if he can provide assistance to former customers of a company (details supplied) which has left the Irish energy market without refunding their customers their credit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [56929/22]

Ceisteanna - Questions: Housing Provision (15 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I welcome the Taoiseach's answer. It gives an example of the depth and breadth of the Housing for All plan and how it touches on so many different areas of increasing supply, not least with the provision of public housing on public land. On the last count, there are more than 25 public sites delivering public housing in my constituency. That is very welcome. That most recent of those was...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Housing Provision (15 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: 24. To ask the Taoiseach when the Cabinet committee on housing will next meet. [54580/22]
