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

Seán Crowe: ...debts onto the shoulders of Irish taxpayers. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael were unable or unwilling to stand up to EU elites when Irish citizens were saddled with billions of private banking debts. Apple representatives have testified under oath to the US Senate sub-committee that since the early 1990s, the Irish Government calculated Apple's taxable income in such a way as to produce...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: State Aid Investigations (23 Jun 2016)

Seán Crowe: 40. To ask the Minister for Finance the reason Ireland is committed to appealing a decision on the Apple state aid case if it finds that state aid was present; the latest estimate of his Department of the potential amount that could be repayable to the State; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Pre-European Council: Statements (21 Jun 2016)

Seán Crowe: ...logic, acts on behalf of the Irish people at the European Council meeting and demands that CETA is not, as expected, provisionally applied. This would be a logical position. I will now turn to Apple. We have been told that the Apple tax case is due in early July. If the case goes the same way as recent cases involving Luxembourg, for example, then the State could be in line for a...

European Council: Statements (27 Jan 2015)

Seán Crowe: ...to develop the whole region. That is an alternative view. Was Ireland's tax regime discussed at the European Council meeting? A statement after the Council referred to it and one company, Apple, was mentioned in relation to Ireland but it went off the agenda afterwards. We do not get a sense of what is going on at these Council meetings. I presume that sanctions against Russia...

European Council: Statements (27 Jan 2015)

Seán Crowe: ...tax avoidance and aggressive tax planning. Was Ireland’s tax regime discussed? Will the Minister of State, Deputy Dara Murphy, respond to that question? Was there any discussion about whether Apple's specific tax arrangements with Ireland are legal? Just before the European Council, the new EU Competition Commissioner said there is reasonable doubt about whether Apple's tax...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (12 Mar 2014)

Seán Crowe: ...polarised, with little growth in high paid sectors and the greatest gains being made in low paid sectors. The economy is still much too dependent on multinational companies. Last week, it was revealed that Apple paid only $36 million in tax on profits of more than $7 billion from its Irish registered operations. It appears the Government does not have any interest in challenging...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (12 Feb 2014)

Seán Crowe: ...or a lack of political will. There has been mention of the so-called double Irish arrangement and the allegation that by designating its office in Ireland in Cork, Mr. Cotter's county, Apple pays a tax rate equivalent to 1.9%. What can we do about that? Christian Aid estimates that tax dodging by wealthy multinational companies costs poor countries €160 billion a year and many of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Effects of Violence: Justice for the Forgotten (16 Jan 2014)

Seán Crowe: ...forget about it. They say that it does not help the process of peace and reconciliation on the island. How do the witnesses respond to that narrative? We hear the idea that there were a few bad apples in the UDR and the RUC who were generally the best of men and women. There is no doubt that there were good people in those organisations, who were there for their own fine reasons. Do...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (21 May 2013)

Seán Crowe: ...€1 trillion is lost to tax evasion every year in EU member states. This is seven times' the entire annual budget of the EU. I heard the Taoiseach dispute reports by the US Congress concerning Apple. Today would have been an ideal opportunity to rubbish or respond to those charges that have been in the media over the weekend. In the UK last week, the House of Commons Public...
