- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Paradise Papers: Chairman, Office of the Revenue Commissioners (29 Nov 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: That is based on discussions that would have taken place between the competent authority in Ireland and other companies units in Europe and so on. My understanding is that a defined agreement with other countries is agreed upon------
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Paradise Papers: Chairman, Office of the Revenue Commissioners (29 Nov 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: Is that based on company-specific cases?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Paradise Papers: Chairman, Office of the Revenue Commissioners (29 Nov 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: The competent authority does not deal with general issues but, rather, company-specific matters.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Paradise Papers: Chairman, Office of the Revenue Commissioners (29 Nov 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: I see where Mr. Cody is coming from. What is his view of Seamus Coffey's statement that the competent authority element is not sufficiently resourced, although it has sufficient expertise?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Paradise Papers: Chairman, Office of the Revenue Commissioners (29 Nov 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: I know that. I do not want to delay people. I understood from Seamus Coffey's report that he thought the legal structures in terms of transfer pricing were not sufficiently advanced in 2017 and the competent authority was not sufficiently resourced. I want things to be backed up by tax legislation. I would like the head of the competent authority to whom Mr. Cody made reference to refer...

- Seanad: Ireland's Bid for European Banking Authority: Statements (29 Nov 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy D'Arcy back to the Chamber. I might dare to say he is here more than some Senators.
- Seanad: Ireland's Bid for European Banking Authority: Statements (29 Nov 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: That is in no way to demean the work of other Senators who are extremely busy outside the Chamber. The rub of the green was not with us in this proposal. I hope a double-headed coin was not used but we were just unlucky. That we got to the point where we were unlucky is indicative of a phenomenal amount of work being put in, both by the Minister of State with responsibility for financial...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (28 Nov 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: I have two quick questions, the first of which I am asking to seek clarification. In his presentation, Mr. Gilvarry said that "the ESMA will be given responsibility for the authorisation and supervision of certain types of investment funds structures - European venture capital funds, European social entrepreneurship funds and European long-term investment funds". I am seeking clarification...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (28 Nov 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: I would like some further clarification. Why is it the service provider within the State that is regulated? Why is there no regulation of the actual fund itself that provides the fund and-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (28 Nov 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: This would be slightly different. If these funds look to invest in Ireland at the moment, they are authorised by the Irish Central Bank. Is that correct?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (28 Nov 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: Would it be fair to say that at this moment in time, none of those categories has been regulated or authorised in an Irish Central Bank context? Is that correct?

Kieran O'Donnell: They will not come under the scope of it at all. Okay. How long will it take to reach the end game? When will we know where it is at? How much time are we looking at?
