Catherine Connolly: I would like to hear a little more on that, if Mr. Gleeson does not mind. Theoretically, it is an excellent programme. It strikes me as an awful lot of money to tell us to eat an apple a day. I am thinking of the bigger picture of where money should be going. I know of schools on the ground that are not getting the benefit of food. This is the third one. It is in that context that I...

Catherine Connolly: I am laughing at the symbolism of the apple and Eve comes to mind but there is not a sign of a woman on the committee. It might be appropriate to tell Apple about what women suffered as a result of the apple symbolism.

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

Catherine Connolly: At the risk of raising a rotten apple, I will discuss the Apple case in a general way. It was mentioned in the up-to-date briefing document. The witnesses referred to residency. Is incorporation of the company important?

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

Catherine Connolly: I read this document last night, but then I considered Apple. According to page 37, the head office was not tax resident in any country. I do not want to get into the specifics, as I understand the matter is before the courts, but I will ask in a general way as a result of what Dr. Keegan stated. There was a head company, with two companies operating in Ireland - Apple Sales International...

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

Catherine Connolly: So prior to that, in addition to Apple, any company could have been or was doing this for all we know. Companies could have done exactly what Apple did, namely, not have been resident in any country for the purposes of tax but could have had two branches in Ireland that were only caught for limited amounts here while the vast profits went to a company that was not tax resident anywhere. Our...

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

Catherine Connolly: I understand that. I want to raise two more issues, residency in 183 days and Apple. I will bite into that apple. I do not expect Mr. Cody to comment because of the court case but I want to run something by him about the acknowledgement. The two companies in question that operated in Ireland, Apple Sales International, ASI, and Apple Operations Europe, AOE, were taxed for the purposes of...

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

Catherine Connolly: ...I only wanted to get it clear in my own head. It was accepted that the company was stateless. The company that took in most of the profit would pay tax nowhere. Is that right? Take it away from Apple, call it Orange, or anything Mr. Cody likes. In other words, other companies could have been doing exactly the same.

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017)

Catherine Connolly: Mr. McCarthy is very welcome ar ais arís. We are going from Panama to paradise and in between we have the red apple. I appreciate the work Revenue and the Department of Finance does. I am certainly not one to quote President Trump but he certainly has a view on Ireland. There is a narrative out there that we are not paying our fair share of taxes. Would Mr. McCarthy accept that...

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (18 Oct 2016)

Catherine Connolly: ...allegations and I agree with Deputy Cullinane that Mr. Soffe's opening statement was extraordinary. The language is pejorative, it is defensive and does not deal with the issues. It talks about apples and oranges and mentions "any reasonable observer" but the Comptroller and Auditor General is doing his job, with his team, as best he can. He made a number of observations and on the last...

Leaders' Questions (13 Oct 2016)

Catherine Connolly: ...and find out what this actually means in the springtime. I realise the Government is under pressure from the President of the European Commission, Mr. Juncker, although it did stand up to him in the case of Apple when it suited it. Mr. Juncker is on record as saying the credibility of the European Union's trade policy is at stake. What is at stake is the credibility of our democratic...

Catherine Connolly: Mr. Cody has made that point clearly. I will come back to Apple. Mr. Cody said that Apple complied with Irish tax law. If Revenue was given more resources to look at multinationals and big companies there would be potentially a lot more money coming into the Exchequer?

Catherine Connolly: ...stop Mr. Cody there. I hope the Chairman is a little bit generous with me because he has come in quite helpfully during my time. I will run through a few things on IT and then I will come back to Apple. On the excise duty, it says here it is currently not incorporated into Revenue's mainstream IT system. Mr. Cody has acknowledged that and has acknowledged that there will be audit...
