Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 Jan 2023)

Eamon Ryan: ...coming into the country than were expected. The commission's analysis relates to 2050 while the Housing for All targets relate to 2030 so the Deputy needs to be careful that he is not comparing apples and oranges. Of course we must go higher than that 33,000 limit. The question is how do we do it and the quality of the housing. This is about housing in the right place. It ain't just a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Data Collection by Digital Assistants: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Dec 2019)

Eamon Ryan: I would like to address both Apple and Google, because the presentations we heard last week from UCD and the Data Protection Commissioner's office were very interesting on this subject. Would the witnesses agree with all the content in their submissions? The Data Protection Commissioner's office referred to the capability of the witnesses' companies now to translate audio clips into text...

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): World Economic Forum (5 Feb 2019)

Eamon Ryan: ...wait for the OECD. There were attacks by the Polish Prime Minister and Spanish bankers but also comments by the head of the OECD which singled out the sweetheart deal which Ireland applied in the Apple tax case. Is the Taoiseach concerned that this is a signal, as mentioned in today's newspapers, that we are facing a different corporate tax regime, where the OECD itself and possibly...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Energy Policy: Discussion (16 Jan 2018)

Eamon Ryan: ...supply. It would improve our competitive position because the peat is so expensive. It is doable and it helps us in a whole range of other energy sectors or industry sectors where the likes of Apple and others are saying they want 100% renewable power supply. We can do that but not if we keep burning coal and peat. It has to stop now. From the public policy side, as the ESB is...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Job Creation (23 Nov 2017)

Eamon Ryan: What contact has the Department had with Apple? We know the Taoiseach met the company in California about the potential loss of the Athenry data centre. Was the Tánaiste informed when the company decided to go ahead with the second Danish plant, which had not been expected, in July this year? When does she expect it might make a decision on whether it will, in the end, proceed with an...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (21 Nov 2017)

Eamon Ryan: ...features clean energy and renewable power which those companies want. There are 116 companies in the world which have committed to going 100% renewable. I hope the Taoiseach is listening. Adobe, Apple, eBay, Facebook, Google, HP, Microsoft and Salesforce were among the companies which the Taoiseach visited. These companies all want to go 100% renewable. Ireland cannot even commit to...

Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (15 Nov 2017)

Eamon Ryan: ...position. We think we could easily accommodate an increase of 75% in this area, which would send us up the international league tables. If we did that, we might start holding on to some of the Apple investments that are now reading the tea leaves and heading off to Denmark - not just because our planning process delayed its project but because it senses that this country is not serious...

Topical Issue Debate: Planning Guidelines (7 Nov 2017)

Eamon Ryan: ...system here does not believe it. Irish representatives are in Brussels this week fighting against ambitious renewables targets. That is the reality of what Ireland is doing. We cannot then expect Apple, which is not stupid and which can read the same files that I can read, not to believe that Ireland is a regressive country in its arguments with the European Union. That has a...

Topical Issue Debate: Planning Guidelines (7 Nov 2017)

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...

Eamon Ryan: Apple will build a second data centre in Denmark.

Financial Resolutions 2018 - Budget Statement 2018 (10 Oct 2017)

Eamon Ryan: ...a continuing decrease in the overall percentage we give in overseas aid. Instead of going towards the goal we should be going towards, which is 0.7% of GDP, we are going further away again in this budget. That is not unimportant. Our success economically will not be by being seen as a tax haven for Apple. It will be by being seen as a responsible part of the global system and by...

Leaders' Questions (10 May 2017)

Eamon Ryan: ...for Transport, Tourism and Sport and as a result of a lack of political support at council level. We cannot build a greenway to Galway; it could even go by that plant in Athenry that the Government can get built for Apple, which will be an innovative part of the new green economy because it will be 100% powered by renewable energy. The Danes are building a similar plant and while matters...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Engagement on Overall Fiscal Position: Discussion (5 Apr 2017)

Eamon Ryan: Would Mr. Moran welcome suggested questions for the Tax Strategy Group? We might submit them in the coming weeks. My final question is on the judgment on the Apple tax case. I presume the Department of Finance acts as the lead agency within the State on that. Could I be given an update on the timelines for a judgment from the European Court of Justice and how the hearings are going?

Knowledge Development Box (Certification of Inventions) Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (1 Mar 2017)

Eamon Ryan: ...them. We also need to know who are the real beneficiaries and how this fits into the new European Commission and OECD rules around measuring tax where business activity takes place. Whatever one's views of the Apple tax judgment and whatever one thinks about the ethics or efficiency of our system or the appropriateness of it, in a vast majority of key places such as Brussels, London, the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Change and Natural Resources: Digital Single Market: European Commission Vice President for Digital Single Market (8 Sep 2016)

Eamon Ryan: ...rather than taking from Asia and America, which will end up being the case if we do not work together. I disagree with my two colleagues. There are different views in the Parliament on the Apple tax issue, but I will not go into the details of that. I will just ask two questions. On tax, does Mr. Ansip believe that - whatever about the retrospective issue - there are now in place tax...

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

Eamon Ryan: ...company or individual shall receive preferential tax treatment contrary to the Tax Acts; (iii) notes the decision of the European Commission on 30th August, 2016 outlining the level of uncollected Corporation Tax from Apple operations within the European Union from 1991 to 2015; (iv) signals our support for the reform measures being introduced by the Organisation for Economic...

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

Eamon Ryan: ...to make, not only going from a closed economy to an open one which we did in the late 1950s and early 1960s which has benefited our country tremendously. We want these companies here. We want Apple in Cork. There are good people in those companies and we can and should work with them. We are also at a stage where we can start standing on our own two feet and having our own enterprise...

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

Eamon Ryan: .... One could read every line, but throughout its argument, the Commission has already set out - we can all read this - that it is fairly clear that the Irish Revenue accepted the calculation of profit attributable to Apple Operations Europe on the basis of actual costs without this choice being reasoned in any way. That is point 58 in the Commission's initial decision. We have a problem....

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Analysis of Economic Forecasts: Central Bank of Ireland (6 Sep 2016)

Eamon Ryan: This has been summer of real reputational damage to the economic side of the Irish State. We have the Apple case, a massive revision of our GDP figures and a third lesser, but not insignificant, issue was the failure of some of our clearing banks to pass the EU stress tests. They were among the few banks on the warning lists in the stress tests which took place earlier in the summer. In...
