Seanad: Finance Bill (Tax Appeals and Prospectus Regulation) Bill 2019: Second Stage (28 Nov 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: ...by the Tax Appeals Commission to the High Court in good faith and with justification. We will look at that on Committee Stage. While we are looking at tax appeals, we have to look also at the Apple appeal. The new chairperson who comes in will be wondering why we are doing that. I will ask the Minister of State just one question. How much have we spent on the appeal in the Apple case?

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Jul 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: ...beef farmers, particular suckler cow farmers in the west of Ireland. The Government did not see fit to carry out an impact assessment. This is the same Government that is rushing to the aid of Apple to make sure one of the richest corporations in the world is protected. What about protecting our beef farmers? It speaks for itself. Farmers are not stupid. They know what is happening...

Seanad: Finance Bill 2018: Committee Stage (5 Dec 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: ...in real terms. There are serious questions about why this was ever done and as to why the policy remains, allowing an effective 0% tax rate for billion dollar companies. Requests for records of the meetings with Apple prior to the Finance Bill 2015 are refused under the Freedom of Information Act. This decision was a great mistake and must be rectified or else we will be hundreds of...

Seanad: Budget 2019: Statements (9 Oct 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: ...the situation around taxation in this country was exposed. I think we owe John McCain a debt in terms of the pressure that was put on multinationals so that they realise more and more that there is no place for them to hide. Even though we have taken the Apple case to the Europe Court of Justice and we do not want to take the money involved, multinationals understand that the net is...

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Mar 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I would love to give an answer. Maybe Apple-----

Seanad: Order of Business (8 Nov 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: ...of the Paradise - or parasite - Papers. This is not a new phenomenon. I was absolutely amazed last night to hear a Fianna Fáil Deputy state that he could not say whether Fianna Fáil supported Apple in respect of the €13.5 billion it has been asked to return to the State to put into an escrow account. He could not tell if Fianna Fáil was for Apple giving back the...

Seanad: Mid-Term Review of Capital Plan: Statements (27 Sep 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: What about the €13 billion to Apple and the €340 million to vulture funds?

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Feb 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: ...process. It is very plain and simple - the money to replace equipment is either available or it is not. The Government can either stand over the choice it made to give the money to the vulture funds, Apple or any other organisation or it can stand over the health service. It is unforgiveable in this day and age that proper equipment is not available to allow consultants and clinicians...

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

Rose Conway Walsh: ..., however. Strides are being made to put that right. The Government, however, was dragged kicking and screaming to do that and is now taking credit for it. Is it right that a US company such as Apple should refuse to appear before this committee?

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

Rose Conway Walsh: What about companies other than Apple? Does Mr. Redmond think that when US companies are invited to appear before the Oireachtas Joint Committee of Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach, they should be inclined to do so?

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

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland for being here. The Apple ruling made international front pages from the Financial Timesto Metroin London, with headlines proclaiming fury at Apple’s 0.005% tax bill. A poll of international readers of The Economistfound that the majority agreed that rules were flouted regarding Apple’s tax arrangement. This continues to be...

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

Rose Conway Walsh: In Dr. Stewart’s experience, would Apple’s appeal have been sufficient without Ireland rowing in and already paying €1.8 million in fees?

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

Rose Conway Walsh: Does Dr. Stewart believe that Apple may be the tip of the iceberg and other similar deals may emerge?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: Minister for Finance and Office of the Revenue Commissioners (2 Feb 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: ...attending. I understand the constraints he is under in the context of discussing this matter. I have a couple of broad points to make. Among the reasons given for taking the appeal against the Apple tax ruling and for the refusal to collect the money was that it may not all belong to Ireland. In light of Commissioner Vestager's comment that the vast majority of unpaid taxes would be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: Minister for Finance and Office of the Revenue Commissioners (2 Feb 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: ...amounts of tax they owed. The Commissioner also confirmed that there are no further open investigations into tax arrangements in Ireland or elsewhere. Does this prove that the investigation into Apple's operation in Ireland was not an attempt to get at Ireland's corporation tax through the backdoor and that it just happened to involve one of the world's biggest companies? Does the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: Minister for Finance and Office of the Revenue Commissioners (2 Feb 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: No. The Minister is used to talking about billions. When Revenue is setting out taxation for indigenous companies it has a strict methodology for that. Was a methodology used for Apple and other multinational companies?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: Minister for Finance and Office of the Revenue Commissioners (2 Feb 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Does the Minister think it is right that, as a Government, we allow companies like Apple to set up phantom companies with no employees or assets? Does that not ring alarm bells? Why would a company do that? Is there something in legislation that we can do to stop that happening?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: Minister for Finance and Office of the Revenue Commissioners (2 Feb 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: ...here with the restrictions that are around it. However, I think we need to address a few things. The transcripts which this debacle centres around speak for themselves. On 30 November 1990, Apple's tax adviser met with Revenue Commissioners and stated that the company would be prepared to accept a profit of between £30 million and £40 million for taxation in Ireland as...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: Minister for Finance and Office of the Revenue Commissioners (2 Feb 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Did Revenue have full understanding and knowledge that by having the phantom company there, Apple was being facilitated to avoid paying tax? It is nothing to do with the branch.

Seanad: Order of Business (1 Feb 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: ...Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach, the European Commissioner, Ms Vestager, engaged in possibly the most damning criticism of the attitude of the Government to the Apple tax ruling. This is an issue of national importance, yet, as reported in one European newspaper this morning, most of the questions asked yesterday were aimed at disproving the Commission's...
