Imelda Munster: The Comptroller and Auditor General's report made reference to the €209 million that was paid to the third country in 2019. Is it expected that other claims on the fund will be made by other countries before the resolution of the Apple appeals ruling?

Imelda Munster: In terms of the costs associated with establishing the escrow fund, the report outlines the cost consultancy fees, etc. but excludes the cost of the appeals case taken to the European courts. Do we know how much it cost?

Chapter 17 - Ireland Apple Escrow Fund (5 Nov 2020)

Imelda Munster: The report referred to the mandate of the escrow account whereby investment managers must preserve the fund's capital to the greatest extent possible. To me, that appears to slightly differ from the normal investment manager's mandate. One would imagine that it would be to grow the fund's capital, not just merely preserve it. Is that the case?

Imelda Munster: By preserving it alone or just aiming to maintain the capital value of the account, is it more in danger of falling short, as opposed to trying to grow the fund?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Nov 2020)

Imelda Munster: It is important the invitation is issued, and as fast as possible, in order that we can test how restricted or otherwise we will be in the context of Standing Order 218. If it stands, it leaves us with our hands tied behind our backs. I am curious to know if this matter was discussed recently at the Committee on Procedure and if we have an update-----
