Financial Resolutions 2020 - Financial Resolution No. 7: General (Resumed) (15 Oct 2020)

David Cullinane: I am sharing time with Deputy Kerrane.

David Cullinane: For the public record, I asked last week that we would write to the head of the HSE and the Chief Medical Officer, CMO, on mesh implants and the implementation of the measures that were put in place to support survivors. I think we should write to the HSE and the CMO to get their information. We might then write to the survivor groups, of which there are two in the State, to get a sense...

David Cullinane: I welcome the witnesses and thank Ms Magahy and Mr. Sullivan for their opening statements. I have very distinct questions, some of which will involve looking for figures, if our guests have them. My first set of questions is for Mr. Sullivan. The implementation strategy document refers to introducing additional acute hospital capacity of 2,600 beds, including new elective facilities. I...

Financial Resolution No. 4: Corporation Tax (13 Oct 2020)

David Cullinane: What we are dealing with in these resolutions is closing tax loopholes. Deputy Doherty proposed closing a tax loophole that essentially allows for multinational companies to offset capital allowances against 100% of their profits on intangible assets, which would raise €720 million. This loophole is very similar to some of those the Government now claims credit for closing and in...

Financial Resolution No. 4: Corporation Tax (13 Oct 2020)
