Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of Financial Sector: Discussion with Bank of Ireland (4 Sep 2013)

Dara Murphy: Let me put it another way. Of the current mortgages in default, how many fall into the category of persons who have contacted and engaged with the bank and are now deemed by it to be unable to pay? Earlier Mr. Boucher said 1,097 mortgages were unsustainable, 937 were in default and 10% of loans in arrears were in what he termed potentially a different category. Can he say how many Bank of...

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Joint Sub-Committee on Global Corporate Taxation: Global Taxation Architecture: Discussion with Director of the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration (23 Jul 2013)

Dara Murphy: Ireland has a flat corporate tax rate regardless of whether a company is large, a multinational, an exporter or a local supplier. Is this preferable, or is there scope for different rates depending on a company's function? I am asking for Mr. Saint-Amans's personal observation.

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Joint Sub-Committee on Global Corporate Taxation: Global Taxation Architecture: Discussion with Director of the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration (23 Jul 2013)

Dara Murphy: I thank Mr. Saint-Amans for his time. Various jurisdictions have conducted parliamentary inquiries and many of the companies listed in the two big inquiries held across the water on both sides of us are located in Ireland. Our focus is different in this regard, as these companies employ tens of thousands of Irish people and we can understand why there is a degree of jealousy in other...

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Joint Sub-Committee on Global Corporate Taxation: Global Taxation Architecture: Discussion with Director of the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration (23 Jul 2013)

Dara Murphy: Mr. Saint-Amans has also stated Ireland is very far from being a tax haven. The difficulty we have with double non-taxation is there is a lack of action by governments. Multinational companies are doing nothing wrong and those based in Ireland do not break international or Irish law.

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Joint Sub-Committee on Global Corporate Taxation: Global Taxation Architecture: Discussion with Director of the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration (23 Jul 2013)

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Joint Sub-Committee on Global Corporate Taxation: Global Taxation Architecture: Discussion with Director of the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration (23 Jul 2013)

Dara Murphy: Mr. Saint-Amans has mentioned low taxes are pro-growth and that the evidence supports this. Would Mr. Saint-Amans encourage the Irish Government to continue along the path it has been on for a number of years because it works for multinationals and the Irish people working for them?

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Joint Sub-Committee on Global Corporate Taxation: Global Taxation Architecture: Discussion with Director of the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration (23 Jul 2013)

Dara Murphy: Mr. Saint-Amans has stated that to date the Irish Government has been extremely co-operative with the OECD in this regard. Does he accept that, in the main, it must be driven by the very large countries and blocs and that smaller countries such as Ireland, while being supportive, cannot unilaterally change anything in the international context?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Insolvency Service of Ireland: Discussion (17 Jul 2013)

Dara Murphy: I thank Mr. O'Connor for a very interesting afternoon. There are many questions around the area of fees. There is a sense that liquidators and receivers get their fees first. Based on the experience in the United Kingdom, as banks and creditors became more aware of solutions, was the role for PIP intermediaries or their equivalent reduced?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Insolvency Service of Ireland: Discussion (17 Jul 2013)

Dara Murphy: I wish Mr. O'Connor well with his extremely important job. As a politicians, we all know of people who are waiting to see how this plays out. There are a couple of areas about which I would like to ask Mr. O'Connor. I refer to the issue of publications, judgments and so on. How does Mr. O'Connor see that happening? When the process kicks in, at what point will people be able to opt into...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Insolvency Service of Ireland: Discussion (17 Jul 2013)

Dara Murphy: One of the things we are hearing a lot from people in financial difficulty is that debts are being sold. A reasonably well-established institution with a good reputation may sell the debt to an agency at 25%, 50% or whatever. That agency then comes looking for the full amount. What will be the amount under these three arrangements, bearing in mind there are two different amounts - the...
