Peter Burke: ...Department officials for all the work they do in presiding over the Department of Finance. I want to touch on several topics. First, in regard to the state aid recovery case in connection with Apple, is it correct that the €14.3 billion is now in the escrow account?

Peter Burke: This case is colossal in scale and Mr. Moran is saying it could last for more than a decade. Does he have any idea how much has been expended on legal costs by the State to date? Obviously, Apple is also contesting the case.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Investigations into Tax Rulings (resumed) (7 Feb 2017)

Peter Burke: I am asking about the mismatch when Ireland is dealing with other countries. To take the Apple case, there is a mismatch of international tax legislation. Does Dr. Stewart believe that these proposals would do anything to change that?

Peter Burke: ...abolished the double Irish and the notion of stateless companies. Therefore, huge efforts have been made under the tax code over the past number of years. If the Government did not appeal the Apple tax case, is it not correct to say the €13 billion would not be available to the Government to spend because Apple itself has appealed the judgment and the moneys would have to be held...

Finance Bill 2016: Second Stage (Resumed) (26 Oct 2016)

Peter Burke: ...is no doubting that. One of the biggest challenges will be the defence of our corporate tax rate. There is a great debate going on in Europe on the harmonisation of tax.

In terms of employees looking to January, it is important for...
