- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Proposals on Taxation of the Digital Economy: Discussion (26 Apr 2018)
John McGuinness: I would say to both Mr. Hayes and Mr. Carthy that when legislation is proposed in this House and it smacks of anything to do with banking, regulation or whatever, it goes to the ECB for its views and it reports back to us. Here we have a banking scandal in, separately, Ulster Bank and, collectively, all of the other banks and the ECB tells us it is not within its remit and that it is within...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Proposals on Taxation of the Digital Economy: Discussion (26 Apr 2018)
John McGuinness: What can be done to assist Mr. Jonathan Sugarman who seems to be the only one who told the truth? It can be said his life has been destroyed by the fact that the Central Bank of Ireland did not respond and does not seem to care about the fact that there was more than one.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Proposals on Taxation of the Digital Economy: Discussion (26 Apr 2018)
John McGuinness: We have a letter from Ms Danièle Nouy on the Single Strategic Mechanism, SSM, and so on. We attempted to get her to come to a committee meeting. Separately, as Mr. Hayes knows - we thank him for his help - we invited Mr. Draghi, but it is almost impossible to get them to come here. One would imagine that there would be far greater interaction between these individuals and committees...

John McGuinness: I have two points to put to the delegates that have absolutely nothing to do with this committee. First, on trade between the European Union and Taiwan, in Taipei there is a European Union office, from which the larger countries work. They include Germany, France and some of the others, but Ireland has to observe the one China policy, which we and everyone else does. It does not...

John McGuinness: I appeal to the witnesses to make the voices of the late Ms Mary Phelan and Ms Lucia O'Farrell heard. They are being blackguarded by this State and they are looking to the witnesses for resolution. I thank both MEPs for coming along this morning. I appreciate their input. I should have put apologies from Ms Marian Harkin, MEP on record earlier. I forgot to do that. We note that now and...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion (24 Apr 2018)
John McGuinness: I wish to go back to some of the questions raised by Deputy Pearse Doherty at the beginning of this discussion. The sale went ahead and the change was how the unclaimed prizes would be dealt with. That was the only change. The office of the regulator has nothing to do with that licence. The regulator regulates the content of the licence and ensures the operation is as per what was agreed....
