Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (Resumed) (22 Feb 2018)

Catherine Murphy: I am just making the point that we are kind of losing out on either end. We are being very generous on one end because most of the tax collected from these companies will be collected from the people employed in the companies rather than the companies themselves. It is a big set aside. Yet, at the same time, on the other end, we do not get any advantage. I will move on to another area...

Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (Resumed) (22 Feb 2018)

Catherine Murphy: On banks and bank debt, not that long ago we saw a newspaper headline that one of the banks which had the benefit of surviving as a consequence of citizens bailing it out was not expected to pay any tax for the next 20 years. This was because it is able to write off its losses, which are our losses, against its own balance sheet. If I find at home a medical receipt from five years ago, as...

Catherine Murphy: What does it bring in?

Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (Resumed) (22 Feb 2018)

Catherine Murphy: There is one other element on which I want to touch, that is, special purpose vehicles. It is not that long ago when regulators complained that they did not even know what some special purpose vehicles, SPVs, were used for. Did either Revenue or the Department consult or advise the Central Bank on the ways in which special purpose vehicles should be regulated?

Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (Resumed) (22 Feb 2018)

Catherine Murphy: Is Revenue satisfied that the regulators fully understand what they are regulating? The controversy about section 110 companies was heightened at one point and changes were made. Is Mr. Cody satisfied that they went far enough? Is he satisfied that there are no other special purpose vehicles being used?

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (Resumed) (22 Feb 2018)

Catherine Murphy: Would Mr. Cody say Revenue has sufficient resources to do that work? It seems to be a matter of ensuring the resources are available to close loopholes as quickly as possible. Are the available resources adequate?

Catherine Murphy: Is Mr. Cody making an additional case this year? Does he have flexibility within what he was provided in the budget to continue recruiting? Is there an impediment now?

Project Ireland 2040: Statements (Resumed) (21 Feb 2018)

Catherine Murphy: I am very much in favour of strategic planning and believe the capital plan should be integrated into a larger framework. I was very critical when that did not happen with the launch of the national spatial strategy. However, the way this plan has been developed will come back to haunt the Government. Early last year, the process was opened to submissions, but it was a one-way...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with Chairpersons Designate of Public Bodies (21 Feb 2018)

Catherine Murphy: I have some questions for Mr. O'Rourke. Under the heading of efficiency, he said in his opening statement that congestion is a symptom of economic success. He qualified that by noting that we have failed to plan for success. There has not been a gigantic increase in the population of Dublin city centre. Over three censuses, the increase has only been 13%. Most of the movements are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with Chairpersons Designate of Public Bodies (21 Feb 2018)

Catherine Murphy: I was specifically referring to transition. Earlier, Mr. O'Rourke told one of the members that he was not a demographer, but one cannot ignore population. It is modelled in. There is an absence of other choices, such as public transport, so of course road congestion will grow because the alternatives are not being provided. I was specifically referring to items such as the DART...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with Chairpersons Designate of Public Bodies (21 Feb 2018)

Catherine Murphy: How does one transition that in such a way that it does not create congestion? One provides a solution to the people who live in one area for getting to the city centre where they need to go. What I wanted to know was does the TII have an input into priorities such as DART underground which creates that transition and is a game changer. My point is that it is astonishing that it is not one...
