Order of Business (23 May 2017)

Enda Kenny: .... When the testing of the 25% share sale is gone through, that will be used for debt reduction. The Commission is entitled to make its views known, as it has. It has made its views known on Apple and it has made its views known on other things, but the Government would be very careful to manage prudently our economic affairs in the interests of our people-----

Traveller Ethnicity: Statements (1 Mar 2017)

Enda Kenny: ..., a Cheann Comhairle, for making time in the House today for this historic and symbolic recognition of Travellers as an ethnic group within the Irish nation. Robbie is a 17 year old young man, the apple of his mother's eye, his future is ahead of him and the world is at his feet, yet he walks with his head down. No more. His mother, his family and his Traveller community want Robbie to...

Ceisteanna - Questions: World Economic Forum (1 Feb 2017)

Enda Kenny: Apple was not discussed at Davos. To answer Deputy Adams, the Government profoundly disagrees with the European Commission and its analysis, and has no choice but to take an appeal to the European Court of Justice to annul the decision. More than 70% of the Dáil voted to support the Government's decision to appeal in September 2016. Ireland did not give favourable treatment to Apple....

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (1 Feb 2017)

Enda Kenny: ...concept and get rid of the double-Irish concept. We have been foremost with the OECD in terms of the BEPS proposition. We are the first to have a fully compliant OECD knowledge box at 6.25%. Apple has also appealed the case. Lodging the money is a complicated process. It will be lodged in the escrow account-----

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (14 Dec 2016)

Enda Kenny: Deputy Martin raised the question of Apple. I expect the commission will publish the ruling before Christmas or very close to Christmas. It will be formally published then and the Minister, Deputy Noonan, informed us of that yesterday. The arts centre in New York is the result of very close relations between Ireland and America which have existed for a long time. The centre will serve...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (14 Dec 2016)

Enda Kenny: The Deputy said it was reported Apple would pay it from a cash pile of that sum. We discussed the case-----

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (14 Dec 2016)

Enda Kenny: -----and informed Mr. Cook that we had lodged our formal appeal. Apple is lodging its appeal. We discussed the question of an escrow account because the finding and ruling is legally binding. Where the Deputy got her information about this figure is beyond me. It was never mentioned at the meeting and I was there. Deputy Murphy raised the question of the expansion and proposition by...

Ceisteanna - Questions: EU Meetings (14 Dec 2016)

Enda Kenny: ...EU-UK relationship. On tax, I outlined the Government's initiatives, such as the knowledge development box. I also informed the Prime Minister that Ireland had appealed the Commission's ruling on Apple. There was no discussion of any other company in this context. We agreed to stay in close contact and to continue to work closely together over the coming period. I have had...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (14 Dec 2016)

Enda Kenny: ...occurring again. I paid particular tribute to consul general Philip Grant for the way he conducted his business on behalf of our country arising from that tragedy in Berkeley. On Thursday, 1 December, I visited Apple Headquarters where I met Tim Cook, the chief executive officer, along with a number of other senior Apple executives. We discussed the company’s substantial...

Ceisteanna - Questions: National Risk Assessment (29 Nov 2016)

Enda Kenny: ...in terms of our track record, our legal base, our technology capacity, our young people and the fact our corporate tax rate has been static, transparent and accountable right across the board. The Apple case is being appealed on two fronts, one by Apple and the other by Ireland, on the basis that the Revenue Commissioners have never done sweetheart deals and have been utterly...

Ceisteanna - Questions: EU Meetings (4 Oct 2016)

Enda Kenny: .... In reply to Deputy Martin's question, I referred to Aleppo and the disgraceful actions that led to so many men, women and children being killed there. The Government decided to appeal the Apple case because of our belief in the integrity of the way the Revenue Commissioners have interpreted Irish law, the fact that they do not do sweetheart or behind-the-fence deals with any...

Government Appeal of European Commission Decision on State Aid to Apple: Motion (7 Sep 2016)

Enda Kenny: ...the seriousness the Government attaches to the decision announced last week by the European Commission. The Commission’s conclusion that Ireland granted undue tax benefits of up to €13 billion to Apple in a way that transgressed EU state aid rules is so profoundly wrong and damaging that it demands an immediate, clear and strong response. Governments over the years have...

Business of Dáil (7 Sep 2016)

Enda Kenny: ...I propose, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that the proceedings on No. 1, motion re Government decision to appeal the European Commission's decision that Ireland provided unlawful state aid to Apple shall, if not previously concluded, be brought to a conclusion at 8 p.m. tonight and the following arrangements shall apply: the combined time for the speeches of the Minister for...

Leaders' Questions (2 Dec 2015)

Enda Kenny: ...be issued by the end of 2015 or very early in 2016. As the Deputy knows, one can check on any of the maps for indications of when broadband will be available. Deputy Fitzmaurice is also aware that Apple is investing €1 billion in the Athenry area for data content storage. I can confirm that the splicing has taken place on the last link of the cable from Shirley, New York, to...

Deaths of Garda and Members of the Traveller Community: Expressions of Sympathy (13 Oct 2015)

Enda Kenny: ...with whom he served so generously. His conduct and his spirit remind me of the words of the poet who penned the following lines just across the water from Ballina:And pluck till time and times are done The silver apples of the moon, The golden apples of the sun. I hope too that young Siobhan Phillips makes a recovery from her injuries in hospital. For both the Golden family and the...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): World Economic Forum (23 Jun 2015)

Enda Kenny: ...plays its full part in the OECD analysis of the base erosion and profit sharing. We got rid of that because there are no brass plate companies here where we just have a plate but nobody employed. Apple, for instance, employs 4,000 people in Deputy Martin's city. There are so many others. Real workers go to work every day. They contribute to the research, innovation and the future....

Leaders' Questions (25 Mar 2015)

Enda Kenny: ...parks, the upgrading of existing facilities and the purchase and construction of new ones in areas outside the main urban centres. It is welcome to see the significant investment being made by Apple in Athenry and the development of facilities in towns and other locations outside those centres. These developments are heartening, particularly as they are giving rise to the creation of...

Leaders' Questions (25 Feb 2015)

Enda Kenny: ...and export. IDA Ireland will launch its regional strategy for developing opportunities outside the main cities, and I am sure everybody welcomes the very substantial investment to be made by Apple in Athenry. That demonstrates the attractiveness of Ireland having economic and political stability for that kind of investment. I take the Deputy's point. We need to improve broadband,...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) (2 Dec 2014)

Enda Kenny: ...by the European Commission on tax issues. The Commission launched preliminary investigations against a number of countries. We defended Ireland's case and will continue to do so arising from the Apple hearings in the US Senate. We have made that perfectly clear. The view of the Minister, Deputy Noonan, is that this case will be dropped. Ireland has been very clear through the years...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Official Engagements (21 Oct 2014)

Enda Kenny: ...a number of important issues. I have referred to the circumstances in which Governor Brown made his comments. He is well aware of the situation that applies here in Ireland. I have been in the Apple plant in Cork on a number of occasions. It is a huge operation with a workforce of 4,000. It is at the leading edge of technological development globally. As I have often pointed out...
