Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Public Health (Tobacco and Nicotine Inhaling Products) Bill 2019: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Feb 2022)

Róisín Shortall: I want to put a question now to Mr. Pescar. Why does his outlet sell e-cigarettes which have flavours like Apple Berry Crumble, Purple Slush, Rainbow Blast or Strawberry Sensation? Surely there is not a demand from adults for those flavours, which sound very much as if they are designed to appeal to children. Some of these products have up to 18 mg of nicotine in their content. Why is he...

Decision of the General Court of the European Union in the Apple Case: Statements (24 Jul 2020)

Róisín Shortall: ...of fairness when compared with our treatment of domestic small and medium-sized enterprises, SMEs. This unfair treatment is wrong. It makes it very hard for our domestic SMEs to compete. We now know that Apple paid a 0.005% tax rate on the profits in question. That amounts to a tax of 5 cent on every €1,000 of profit. It is a real slap in the face for Irish taxpayers and SMEs....

National Development Plan: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jun 2019)

Róisín Shortall: ...;12 billion less to spend on other projects. That will happen if this level of overspend continues on the major projects. It would be like losing the money relating to the judgment handed down in the Apple case. The report published this morning is absolutely scathing of the Government and the State's general inability to ensure cost containment in major capital projects. It lists...

Leaders' Questions (7 Nov 2017)

Róisín Shortall: ...funding for the provision of public services owing to the reduced revenue base. The Taoiseach says the intellectual property arrangement has been closed. It has been closed but not before Apple was allowed a ten-year break as a result of the changes made last year. The Comptroller and Auditor General recently noted that the cost of capital allowances had doubled between 2014 and...

Leaders' Questions (7 Nov 2017)

Róisín Shortall: I want to raise the matter of the Paradise Papers and the information which has emerged in regard to Apple's tax arrangements, the facilitation of these arrangements by successive Irish Governments and the considerably negative impact this is having on Ireland's reputation. The central theme running through the Paradise Papers is the relentless quest of the wealthy and powerful, the great...

Reform of An Garda Síochána: Motion [Private Members] (11 Apr 2017)

Róisín Shortall: ...the Garda, major cultural problems and significant issues relating to lack of accountability and lack of professional performance. The Morris tribunal was very clear that it was not just a case of a few bad apples in Donegal, but the indications were that the problems went right through the force - deep cultural problems, organisational problems and a lack of accountability throughout the...

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

Róisín Shortall: ..., the Minister for Finance declared his intention to rush headlong into defending a practice that may very well be indefensible without addressing the question at hand. That question is whether Apple was facilitated with a selective arrangement. Whether or not we refer to the 1991 arrangement as a deal is irrelevant. The fact is that a tax liability was negotiated between Revenue and...

Seanad: Thirtieth Amendment of the Constitution (Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union) Bill 2012: Second Stage (23 Apr 2012)

Róisín Shortall: ...with investors, job creators and our European partners. I wish to mention in particular job creating investors, from whom so many great job announcements have come in recent months; PayPal and Apple being two great examples among them. Their decisions have been thanks to the determination of the Irish people, the stability restored to our economy and our place at the heart of the...
