- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (4 May 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: There is a credibility built up between the CSO and individual companies in Ireland. The level of detail required by the EU cannot be provided unless the CSO gives a level of micro detail. Mr. Dalton makes the argument very coherently.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (4 May 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: Some people would be employed on a contact for 11 months and others are in longer-term employment. Does the CSO have that level of breakdown?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (4 May 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: Does the CSO go in to the last year's statistics and see a comparison in the change between part-time and full-time?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (4 May 2017)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (4 May 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: How much of the GDP growth we are seeing at the moment is attributable to contract manufacturing?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (4 May 2017)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (4 May 2017)
Kieran O'Donnell: With contract manufacturing, the likelihood is that the taxes on those earnings are being assessed in the country where the manufacturing process is taking place. Does the CSO look at it in any way that those contract-manufacturing sales or profits have to be assessed for taxes in Ireland?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (4 May 2017)
