Written Answers — Department of Finance: State Aid Investigations (17 Jan 2017)

Michael Noonan: The European Commission published the Final Decision into the Apple State Aid case in December 2016. This had been sent to Ireland at the end of August 2016. As I have reiterated previously, Ireland does not accept the Commission's analysis, which is why we have lodged an application with the General Court of the European Union to annul the whole Decision. Notwithstanding our appeal,...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: Tax Collection (4 Apr 2017)

Michael Noonan: Notwithstanding the appeal that the Government has lodged in the Apple State Aid case, Ireland is required to comply with the binding articles of the Commission's Final Decision and to recover the alleged aid from Apple. Irish officials are continuing this work to ensure that the State complies with all our recovery obligations. I note the recent reported comments made by the...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: Tax Code (30 Mar 2017)

Michael Noonan: The Government profoundly disagrees with the European Commission's analysis in the Apple State Aid case. An appeal is therefore being brought before the European Courts.  Such an appeal takes the form of an application to the General Court of the European Union, asking it to annul the Commission's Final Decision.  The Attorney General prepared the legal grounds in support...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base: Discussion (25 Jan 2018) See 1 other result from this debate

Pearse Doherty: ...is in terms of Ireland's corporate tax rate. It is a matter I have raised over many years. For instance, many years ago, I and another member of this committee had argued in favour of bringing Apple before the committee. The Government, and some Opposition parties, refused to do so. We are very critical of how Ireland has facilitated tax avoidance at a global scale and how issues such...

Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: Future of Public Service Broadcasting and Impact of Covid-19 on the Media Sector: Discussion (11 Nov 2020)

Fintan Warfield: ...questions to Mr. Lynch. I want first to ask about RTÉ's plans around streaming and the RTÉ player, which is mentioned in some of the documents send to the committee. I use the RTÉ player on Apple TV. I am familiar with its intricacies, particularly in terms of live television. How can RTÉ better compete with streaming platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+...

Hospitals Building Programme (12 Apr 2011)

James Reilly: ...a costing to be done if the exact same hospital, with the exact same specifications, were built on a greenfield site. It is important that we know the difference in money and that we are comparing apples and apples and not apples and oranges. While I am acutely aware that every month this goes by costs the taxpayer €500,000, there is the possibility of hundreds of millions being lost...

Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2012: Second Stage (23 May 2012)

Luke Flanagan: ...will make little or no difference. For example, if one merges north and south Tipperary councils or Roscommon and Mayo councils, all one is doing is the equivalent of joining the half of two rotten apples together on the basis that one will get one wonderful pristine apple. One will not get that. All one will get is two halves of an apple that will rot more quickly. That will not solve...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee. (26 Nov 2015)

John Deasy: One word of caution here. It is something the Minister for Finance intimated yesterday with regard to what is coming from Europe, specifically as it pertains to Apple. It was not just an intimation; he was effectively saying that a lot of the criticisms of Ireland's corporate tax structure and the Apple issue were politically motivated. We should be careful with regard to this group. We...

Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (21 Mar 2024)

Pat Buckley: ...witch-hunt. It is not about that. It is about gathering the information. As I always say, it is basically about gathering all the ingredients and baking the right cake. You cannot make an apple tart without apples. It is as simple as that.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Budget 2020 (13 Nov 2019)

Paschal Donohoe: It would probably be premature to say investors or large companies might invest elsewhere as a result of the Apple ruling, particularly as regards companies that are already here. However, the loss of the Apple case would pose exceptionally important challenges for our corporate tax policy, requiring deeply serious consideration. I am very conscious of the magnitude of €14 billion...

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Bill 2017: Second Stage (8 May 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: ...Senator Norris's remarks on the long gestation of the Bill, it is good the legislation is before the House. I remind Senator Ó Donnghaile of the import of what he suggested regarding Apple. The Government and Apple have appealed the decision of the European Commission in 2016. Apple will pay money into an escrow account which will be held on behalf of the Government. Apple and the...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: State Aid Investigations (16 May 2018)

Paschal Donohoe: The Government does not accept the Commission’s analysis in the Apple State aid Decision and has lodged an appeal in the European Courts. However, we have always been clear that we are fully committed to ensuring that recovery of the alleged Apple State aid takes place and have committed significant resources to ensuring this is achieved. Given the unprecedented scale of the recovery...

Health (Covid-19): Statements (16 Apr 2020)

Leo Varadkar: The answer to the question on Apple is No. It is a very disingenuous question and solution. The truth is that whether the State withdraws its appeal or not is irrelevant because Apple is appealing the judgment as well. This will continue to be a matter for the courts for many years, no matter what the Government does. The money has been collected but it is in an escrow account controlled...

...situation is different in different locations. The averages may potentially distort the picture, particularly as a result of some outliers. We have looked at the issue. We are trying to compare apples with apples. Some of the numbers that are quoted with regard to average costs for local authorities to deliver accommodation, such as €200,000 or €210,000, quite often...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Economic Policy (23 May 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Richard Boyd Barrett: How much money has the Government spent on the lawyers who are representing the Government in supporting Apple to stop the people of this country getting €13 billion in additional tax revenue? It beggars belief that the Government is backing the richest company in the world, a company that was paying less than 1% tax, in a case where it claims it was paying its fair share of tax, as...

Topical Issue Debate: Planning Guidelines (7 Nov 2017) See 2 other results from this debate

Eamon Ryan: I am sure many Deputies, particularly those representing the constituencies of the west, are deeply concerned about the apparent failure of Apple to proceed with a data centre in Athenry, as was originally planned two or three years ago. It was held up in the planning system. I add a particular concern to the debate and put a case to the Minister. There were difficulties in the planning...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Drinks Industry and Rural Economy: Discussion (24 Jun 2014)

Paschal Mooney: ...and her ability to expand same. I wish her well in that regard. With regard the agricultural point of view, I wish to take up a point made by Deputy Heydon about the industry requiring 50,000 apples. Where are the apples grown? Are they all grown in Ireland? Are they imported? Are they all Irish apples? Are they southern Irish apples? I would prefer that they came from the island...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Apr 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: I highlight the recent decision of the Supreme Court to dismiss an appeal concerning the Apple data centre. A decision was issued by An Bord Pleanála in August 2016 and it has taken until now to have an appeal dealt with. Even though the appeal has been dismissed, the appellants have won because Apple has left. The Athenry area has been deprived of an €850 million development...

...the last comment I will make. Do I have multinationals beating my door down to say they are concerned? Yes, they are obviously concerned about the commentary, but it is not sufficient. The Apple case has been mentioned already. Since that happened, Apple has announced 1,000 additional jobs in Cork and the opening of a data centre in Galway, which is a vote of confidence in Ireland as a...

Seanad: Order of Business (24 Feb 2015) See 8 other results from this debate

Colm Burke: I too welcome the decision by Apple to develop the facility near Athenry. It is important to give recognition to Apple for the contribution it has made to economic development of Cork where it currently employs more than 4,000 people. It is a huge employer and has played a major part in the Cork region. I want to kill the rumour that it moved to Athenry because we overheat in Cork from...
