Dara Murphy: I was very interested when Mr. Taft spoke about targeting certain industries - he mentioned the chemical and perhaps the pharmaceutical sectors - with some additional reliefs that might stimulate them to come into the country. This perhaps would move into a space in which other countries are to be found. I was interested to hear Mr. Taft say this because essentially, this would mean...

Dara Murphy: No, if one reduces the net tax through reliefs by targeting multinational companies in the chemical or pharmaceutical sectors, then QED, in comparative terms Irish indigenous small coffee shops and other limited companies will be paying more tax than them.

Dara Murphy: Is it not the fact that the fairest part of Ireland's corporation tax regime is that everyone pays the same rate? I ask Mr. O'Brien to respond.

- Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Joint Sub-Committee on Global Corporate Taxation: Ireland's Corporate Tax System: (Resumed) KPMG and Unite (28 May 2014)
Dara Murphy: Mr. Taft has named some of the richest countries in the world. In his submission Mr. O'Brien asserts that there are no glaring examples of Ireland being at variance with the global taxation system and no issues in respect of which we could make changes here. I would have expected that there would be some areas in which we might have been able to act unilaterally. Has this process not...

In that context, will he indicate if there are matters on which we should be...

Dara Murphy: I am fascinated by the issue of reputational damage. Mr. O'Brien has stated KPMG meets representatives of foreign companies in the interests of trying to promote Ireland. Has any company ever stated our tax rate is too low and that it is having an adverse impact on its operations?
- Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Joint Sub-Committee on Global Corporate Taxation: Ireland's Corporate Tax System: (Resumed) KPMG and Unite (28 May 2014)
