Seán Sherlock: Thus far this has been a very useful exercise for us in terms of the degree of enlightenment on the dynamics at play vis-a-visthe customs union, tariffs, the tax code and so on. However, we need to look at the matter in the context of the ongoing political discussions which are an iterative process, notwithstanding the rhetoric and the fact that there is a general election under way in the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit - Recent Developments and Future Negotiations: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2017)

Seán Sherlock: I am just trying to understand the online shopping dynamic. Mr. Cody referred to the postman coming to the door. Again, are we talking in theoretical terms pending the outcome of a final political negotiation? Until that is determined, the position is effectively the status quo. I will put it another way. Reading between the lines of the Revenue Commissioners' submission, I believe it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit - Recent Developments and Future Negotiations: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2017)

Seán Sherlock: If I, for instance, have an eBay shop and am an online trader operating out of Cork, for the sake of argument, or anywhere else in Ireland, does Mr. Cody anticipate that I would have to get authorised economic operator, AEO, status, or am I misunderstanding the mechanism by which AEOs operate? Mr. Cody says there will have to be an increase in the number of AEOs. Would I be subject to this?...

Manchester Arena Bombing: Expressions of Sympathy (23 May 2017)

Seán Sherlock: On behalf of the Irish Labour Party, I wish to express our deepest sympathy to those affected by the Manchester attack, which was appalling. It is probably no accident that the attack planned for maximum carnage, targeted young women and girls mostly and occurred in the midst of a general election. It is an attack on our democratic values and, in particular, on the innocence of youth. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of Data-Sharing and Governance Bill: Discussion (18 May 2017)

Seán Sherlock: I thank the individual speakers for their contributions. I wish to question Mr. Sunderland on his submission. If I am reading between the lines correctly, there is a sense that there is a great deal more work to be done on the Bill before the Office of the Data Commissioner is satisfied that it passes muster. Is Mr. Sunderland confident that the issues he flagged are being dealt with at...
