Gerald Nash: ...of natural justice, to respond to what Mr. McMahon stated. The State is currently dealing with an important principle in respect of alleged state aid for one company. The case, known as the Apple case, is sub judiceand is being investigated. There are many similarities between the case before us and the Apple case-----

Pre-European Council: Statements (16 Oct 2019)

Mattie McGrath: ...of this week’s developments in Brexit will bear fruit and if a deal will emerge. We have all supported the Government in its efforts on this. The middle of October used to be harvest time for apple farmers in Tipperary. Hopefully, the harvest will be rich and we will get a deal. The kind of deal is the question, however. Cén sórt? We are waiting with bated breath. ...

Seanad: Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (15 Oct 2019)

Alice-Mary Higgins: ...the Bill specifically to raised bogs and will allow for better and more up-to-date legislation. This would be preceded by appropriate consultation and scientific research processes on blanket bogs. If we have a Bill on apples it would not make sense to throw oranges in at the last minute. This is another issue which was added to a Bill that was designed for one particular environment....

Ruth Coppinger: ...college, Cabra community college, and Danu community special school, which were all promised by the Taoiseach, go ahead or will they be cut? This is a country that is refusing to collect taxes from Apple.

Financial Resolutions 2019 - Financial Resolution No. 9: General (Resumed) (9 Oct 2019)

Bríd Smith: ...of jobs could be created if a publicly-owned building company was set up to construct the social and affordable housing we need. There is plenty of money available to fund programmes like these if only we had a Government that was not beholden to the rich. We could stop spending millions on legal fees to defend the Apple tax and could take back the €14 billion, for example. We...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Flexible Work Practices (9 Oct 2019)

Heather Humphreys: .... There are many benefits to be gained. There will be a better work-life balance and employees might not have to commute long distances. It will also take pressure off the cities. For example, Apple in Cork employs 1,000 people who are working remotely. It is a question of how we can work with employers and employees. We have had the consultation and carried out research. It will...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Oct 2019)

...things that can make a big difference, there does not appear to be any political wrangling around this. All the political parties, in my observation, seem to agree that it is a motherhood and apple pie situation going on here. The Digital Safety Commissioner, right now - probably within its own commission or within the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland and giving it real teeth - would...

Thomas Pringle: ...of vulture capital, the financialisation of housing, speculative industries, outsourcing of social welfare services through programmes such as JobPath, the seductive corporation tax - of which the Apple affair is a case in point - and an encroaching private sector that has often compromised our health system. In light of this vulnerability, we need examine how we can make structural...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Application of VAT to Food Supplements: Discussion (3 Oct 2019)

...juices. If we sold a medicinal product such as plantain juice that did not taste very nice, the fact that its label contained the word "juice" meant that it attracted 23% VAT in the same way as apple juice would. However, there was never a question but that a simple vitamin, mineral, fish oil or a botanical like turmeric, ginger or garlic, which would almost be sold in any corner shop,...

Brendan Howlin: The Government established an escrow account to hold the Apple fine money of €14.3 billion. The National Treasury Management Agency, NTMA, and the Comptroller and Auditor General estimate that the account will lose €70 million per annum because of negative interest rates due to the way it was set up. Since the Government's plan is to hand back the money to Apple, is it its...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Fáilte Ireland, Shannon Group and Port of Waterford Company: Chairpersons Designate (2 Oct 2019)

...guides, for whom we have given certification qualifications to elevate the status of that profession within the industry. Everybody who comes to Ireland tells us, and this is a little like motherhood and apple pie but we should never lose sight of it, that our people are the most important resource we have.

...IFA website and are broadcast on the radio. Where there is that type of transparency, prices tend not to diverge too much among suppliers. I used the analogy the last day of a person looking to buy apples on Moore Street. There will not be a lot of price difference between the trader at the top of the street and the trader at the bottom, for the simple reason that everybody knows what...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (26 Sep 2019)

Alan Kelly: The point raised by Deputy Murphy has highlighted an issue for me. In this correspondence reference is made to certain barristers’ legal fees. In regard to the Apple case, for some time now, through parliamentary questions and other formats, I have been trying to get the fees paid to certain barristers and information on whether they have any other public sector jobs and,...

Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (26 Sep 2019)

Seán Fleming: ...to comment. Are there service level agreements or other agreements in place between the Department, which will be taking the lead on this, and its European counterparts? Ireland is fighting the Apple case and, regardless of who wins or loses, it is a moot point as to who will get to divvy up the money. It will not necessarily all come to Ireland. Similarly, if the DPC takes a case,...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: Departmental Legal Cases (26 Sep 2019)

Paschal Donohoe: I propose to take Questions Nos. 32 and 44 together. The Government profoundly disagrees with the Commission’s analysis in the Apple State aid case. An appeal has therefore been brought before the European Courts. Such an appeal takes the form of an application to the General Court of the European Union, asking it to annul the Decision of the Commission. The Attorney...

...;il, across many parties, to reclassify. I was trying to demonstrate that the reclassification exercise is likely to be a long-term development. The UK context is quite different and we are comparing apples with oranges. The UK body was not previously a not-for-profit organisation and was a private institution, although I forget the precise categorisation. The most important thing is...

Agrifood and Rural Development: Motion (24 Sep 2019)

Mattie McGrath: ...so peaceful and respectful of what was going on. Many of them brought food to feed the farmers and their families. I thank the many companies that brought food and the many women who baked scones and apple tarts and cream. There was a joyous atmosphere there. The weather was great. It went on longer than it should have. We should not have had to have been there because this crisis...

Finance (Tax Appeals and Prospectus Regulation) Bill 2019: Second Stage (24 Sep 2019)

Pearse Doherty: ..., in this case, it is trying to ensure it will not receive €14 billion in tax due to the taxpayer. Moreover, so far the appeal is costing the taxpayer more than €7 million. This appeal does not offer a speedy resolution, does not offer minimum cost and certainly does not provide an optimal outcome for the people. It lies in stark contrast to the aspirations of the...
