David Cullinane: I welcome Mr. Cody and his team. I was going to finish with Apple, but I will start with it, given that it follows logically from the previous speaker. Much has been said about this in recent weeks and months. The Government has stated its position. Revenue has stated its position and Apple has stated its position, but there seems to be a difference of language when Apple is talking in...

David Cullinane: ...his interpretation of what he said, but he gave wrong information to a Senate hearing, that is very serious. It was not just Mr. Cook who gave this information, it was also the head of tax in Apple, who went further and said that this arrangement meant that the company could calculate tax at 2%. Apple was under pressure at that hearing and the representatives said what they said I think...

Financial Resolutions 2017 - Budget Statement 2017 (11 Oct 2016)

David Cullinane: ...issue. For Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, austerity was just another way for their friends to get paid. And all that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael see today are opportunities for their friends to make money. The have the tax-avoidance sweetheart deals involving Apple and other multinationals that we know of from the past. We have the tax-avoidance schemes that end up giving us a GDP...

Government Appeal of European Commission Decision on State Aid to Apple: Motion (7 Sep 2016)

David Cullinane: ...in real economic activity. They create jobs, pay their taxes and provide a service to the State and the communities in which they are based. We all celebrate that. However, a mechanism was created to allow Apple to avoid paying taxes elsewhere and to allow over €100 billion of profits to become stateless and not taxed anywhere through what the European Commission believes to be...

Seanad: Finance Bill 2015: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Dec 2015)

David Cullinane: ...tax. Sinn Féin and Deputy Pearse Doherty have been raising this issue of whether corporations were even paying an effective corporation tax or pay enough corporation tax. As a result of the European inquiries into Apple and much controversy and discussion about whether multinationals were paying their fair share of corporation tax, it would seem to some that there is some link to...

Seanad: Competition and Consumer Protection Bill 2014: Committee Stage (10 Jul 2014)

David Cullinane: ...into the general notion that no questions can be asked of multinational companies. The same debate goes on around whether multinationals pay full corporation tax and a similar controversy applied to Apple. It seems we cannot ask any questions when it comes to foreign direct investment and we cannot get information. Irish people shop with such multinationals and they make their profits...

Seanad: An Bille um an Dara Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Deireadh a Chur le Seanad Éireann) 2013: An Dara Céim (Atógáil) - Thirty-second Amendment of the Constitution (Abolition of Seanad Éireann) Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (3 Jul 2013)

David Cullinane: ...local government system. Some have presidents with executive powers, while in others there is a separation of powers between the executive and the legislature. The Taoiseach, therefore, did not compare like with like. He was comparing apples with oranges. The Minister cannot argue in favour of a single chamber in a country with such a centralised system of governance where all power...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (23 May 2013)

David Cullinane: ...everybody would agree it is important that we have an opportunity to ask questions. I will quote from a hearing that took place in the United States Senate on 15th of this month. The head of Apple's tax operations was before the Senate committee. He stated: Since the early 1990s, the government of Ireland has calculated Apple's taxable income in such a way as to produce an effective...

Seanad: Order of Business (22 May 2013)

David Cullinane: I wish to raise the issue of the corporation tax paid by Apple in this State in the past ten years or more. It has not been clarified. In fact, quite the opposite is the case. Many questions need to be answered. Senator Clune correctly mentioned our 12.5% corporation tax rate, but the majority of multinationals are not paying anything like 12.5%. There is no effective corporation tax...

Seanad: Order of Business (22 May 2013)

David Cullinane: Some multinational companies are using this State in a chain of cash movements for the purpose of significant tax avoidance. The Government needs to clarify what arrangements are in place for Apple and other multinationals.

Seanad: Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Bill 2012: Committee and Remaining Stages (12 Mar 2013)

David Cullinane: We are consistent. As the Minister well knows, we are trying to compare apples and oranges. For a moment, let us deal with the issue at hand. The Minister is an elected representative, as am I, and we have a job to do in respect of the Bill before us.
