Post-European Council Meetings: Statements (22 Jul 2020)

Cian O'Callaghan: ...Union level. I call on the Taoiseach and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade to take that stand. The issue of tax avoidance is not going to go away at a European Union level, notwithstanding the recent decision on Apple tax. It is essential that all corporations and businesses, whether large or small, pay a fair share of taxation. If we are serious about our international...

Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (22 Jul 2020)

Early Years Childcare: Motion [Private Members] (21 Jul 2020)

Mick Barry: ..., to bring it up to the EU average, one would need an investment of €2.27 billion. It is not cheap. It is a lot of money but it is worth doing. It is possible to do if one goes after the likes of the €14 billion in the Apple escrow account rather than joining forces with Apple and saying that we do not want it. It is possible if one goes for a steeply progressive taxation...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Programme for Government (21 Jul 2020)

Richard Boyd Barrett: On one level, the programme for Government contains everything. It is motherhood and apple pie. Some of us have criticised it because, when one looks at the detail, it is vague and aspirational and does not make tangible commitments in the key areas in which people demanded change at the general election. That is where my question is focused. For example, the section entitled "An...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: EU Investigations (21 Jul 2020)

Paschal Donohoe: As the Deputy is aware, the General Court of the European Union (GCEU) annulled the European Commission's State Aid Decision of 30 August 2016 in relation to Apple. The GCEU concluded that the Commission in their Decision had failed to demonstrate that by issuing the opinions in 1991 and 2007 that the Irish authorities had granted the two Apple companies ASI and AOE a selective advantage....

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Jul 2020)

Leo Varadkar: ...limitations. I have no doubt Deputy O'Reilly will produce a very long shopping list of everything that we could do. Up until yesterday she would have said she would pay for it with the money from Apple, but of course we know that kind of stuff is not realistic.

Paul Murphy: ...headline and actual corporation tax rates are the big corporations. The losers are those on trolleys and housing waiting lists and those who are going to pay the price for climate catastrophe. Apple continues to avail of extremely low tax rates using a new tax avoidance scheme known as the "green jersey". Will the Minister agree to stop the model of Ireland being a tax haven?

Seanad: Financial Provisions (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Second Stage (16 Jul 2020)

Jerry Buttimer: .... We should send a message of congratulations from this Chamber today to the former Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, and the former Minister for Finance, Michael Noonan, for the stance they took regarding the Apple case. They were vindicated yesterday. Where are all the naysayers today who wanted to spend all that money? I send my congratulations to Enda Kenny and Michael Noonan. I am not...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: Legal Costs (16 Jul 2020)

Paschal Donohoe: The Deputy will be aware that the General Court of the European Union has annulled the European Commission's State Aid Decision of 30 August 2016 with respect to Apple. Ireland has always been clear that, based on Irish law, the correct amount of Irish tax was charged to the company and that Ireland did not provide State aid to Apple. This was the reason that Ireland appealed the...

Employment Rights: Motion [Private Members] (15 Jul 2020)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...it. These are the people who maintain and sustain this very society. We cannot have no Government action, or have cases where the Government stands not with National Pen and Debenhams workers but with Apple. We need people to make absolutely sure that we have a Government that protects their basic rights. What we need to offer people is decent, secure work and protections. Caithfimid...

Financial Provisions (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages (15 Jul 2020) See 1 other result from this debate

Bríd Smith: ...I know I will hear the cliché being trotted out that there is no magic money tree. I accept there is no magic money tree, but we seem to forget that when it comes to tax havens, such as what we saw with Apple today, the Cayman Islands, the double Dutch and, indeed, the Irish tax haven. The European Commission is floating other clever ideas, including a suite of environmental taxes...

Joan Collins: ...cases. All of that will come out in due course. This is about taxation and big corporates being able to pay their way to society rather than getting off with low tax on profits. While the Apple tax ruling today probably justifies the behaviour of multinationals and the Government in that they operated within their remit, it is immoral that a multinational with billions of euro paid...

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Communications (15 Jul 2020) See 2 other results from this debate

Mick Barry: The Taoiseach mentioned the discussion he had with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. Did the issue of the Apple tax judgment come up in that discussion? He mentioned in the previous round that he felt the left has been niggardly in acknowledging the role of foreign direct investment. I would argue that the right has been niggardly in accepting and...

Micheál Martin: First, with regard to the Apple judgment, obviously we have the committee on economic recovery but the Cabinet as a whole will consider it this evening and will have a report on it. It is important to make the point that Ireland is only entitled to revenue within the law and legal framework. The essential judgment is that the Commission's decision is being annulled and so Ireland was not in...

Mick Barry: As they marched to the Dáil today, Debenhams workers chanted, "Apple got sorted out. We got sold out." The Taoiseach supported the successful appeal against Apple paying the State €13 billion. The Debenhams workers are campaigning for the far smaller sum of €13 million but the Government is taking no action on their behalf. This €13 million is the sum necessary...

Mattie McGrath: ...in the greater Clonmel area. Merck Sharp & Dohme is there more than 50 years. These are long-stay enterprises, not fly-by-night entities that run away after they get their special deals. Chasing the Apple money is like a chasing a rainbow. When the sun comes out, one sees plenty of rainbows, but there is no crock of gold from Apple at the end of that particular rainbow. Now...
