- 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)
Rose Conway Walsh: I understand that but what is perplexing for people is that Revenue obviously advises Government, such as in the case of the section 110 tax arrangement. When Revenue discovered this arrangement - I cannot really understand how, given all of the people in Revenue, all of these things were not discovered earlier- and that it was being used and abused to relieve Irish citizens of up to...
- 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)
Rose Conway Walsh: I completely understand the retrospective aspect of this, but would Mr. Cody expect that as soon as Revenue goes to Government to explain that the section 110 is being used and abused, and ask for the tax arrangement to be shut down, it should not have taken a number of months, and in some cases years, to shut it down?
- 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)
Rose Conway Walsh: Mr. Cody is almost portraying the Revenue Commissioners as a spectator in all of this.

Rose Conway Walsh: Is the witness not at all concerned with the tardiness of Government in responding to any of these issues once they have been submitted by Revenue?
- Seanad: Order of Business (1 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: Yesterday, at the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach, the European Commissioner, Ms Vestager, engaged in possibly the most damning criticism of the attitude of the Government to the Apple tax ruling. This is an issue of national importance, yet, as reported in one European newspaper this morning, most of the questions asked yesterday were aimed at...

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Cathaoirleach. I congratulate Mr. Martin Groves on his new position and wish him well in it. If he does it as well as he has done his other job since I came here, I am certain he will have success. He will have all our co-operation in doing that job. I commend the Hughes family on their initiative on Westport House and congratulate all involved. At the end of the day, they...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: European Commissioner for Competition (31 Jan 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Commissioner for being with us today. To go back over a couple of things, is the Commissioner saying that if it were not for the US Senate hearing which exposed the tax incentive arrangement with Apple, there would not have been this investigation and we would not be here now? The Irish Government is saying this was part of a trawl through. Is the Commissioner saying it would...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: European Commissioner for Competition (31 Jan 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: It reminds me of an appearance on "The Late Late Show" by a former Commissioner which gave rise to a lot of other stuff. People in the room will know what I am talking about. It depends on the position from which one is looking at this. One may say they did the State some service. Has the Commissioner tried to quantify the possible amount of state aid in all of the rulings and...

Rose Conway Walsh: Does the Commissioner believe that representatives of the State sat down with representatives of Apple and arrived at a figure for the amount of tax Apple which would pay and which was not based on any normal rules? Did her investigation - at any point - note any political influences in such arrangements?
