...the national surplus reserve fund, also known as the "rainy day fund", to the Central Fund of the Exchequer. This amount represented the total balance on the rainy day fund, originally transferred from the ISIF in late 2019.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (30 Sep 2021)

Mick Barry: Retired company quartermaster sergeant Karina Molloy says "it is absolutely systemic". It is not a case of a few bad apples, but systemic. Of course, misogyny is part of the DNA of armies and police forces in all capitalist societies. While that is not to say all members of those forces are sexist, it is to say that sexism is part of the culture. Wayne Couzens, the killer of Sarah...

James Lawless: ...is important we seize the opportunity on the Security Council to push that agenda as far as we can. The other point I will make as to what we can control is that it was especially shameful that Apple and Google - Telegram also, but perhaps it is a less overt and less commercial multinational - collaborated in this deceit because they removed the Navalny smart voting app from the...

Paul Murphy: ..., IPCC, which states that the growth model of capitalism is incompatible with avoiding climate catastrophe. We are talking about the supposedly green sectors of capitalism, including Facebook, Google, Apple, etc. The truth is what exists, supposedly, in the cloud has a massive physical footprint. There is massive water usage of between 500,000 and 5 million litres of water a day and...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (28 Sep 2021)

Seán Canney: ...ready to support it and make sure it is viable. If it does not come, we have to make sure that we are ready for the next global organisation to look at the region. We have already had the case of Apple, which was attracted to Athenry and still is. There are a significant number of medical technology companies in Galway, but what is happening is that every one of those workers coming in...

...of this. However, what members of the public do understand, because they are using the technology, is the concept of downloading a Ryanair or Aer Lingus boarding pass, and putting it on their Apple, Android, or whatever other phone wallet. This is broadly similar to that. In fact, one of the things that the Commission believes is that they have given too much control over this ecosystem...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Monuments (23 Sep 2021)

Patrick O'Donovan: ...Cork area would like this to be put on the record of the House. Last year OPW outdoor staff in Barryscourt came to the rescue when a group of local nuns in the St. Benedict's Priory in Cobh needed apples. At that time Barryscourt came to the attention of many people in the east Cork area and beyond. I pay tribute to and thank the outdoor staff of the OPW who came to the rescue of the...

Seanad: Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person (Amendment) (Stalking) Bill 2021: Second Stage (22 Sep 2021)

Lisa Chambers: ...it is not the only time when we exchange language, if I can say that, where one word is not used but it can mean something else. He referred to kidnapping and compared it to false imprisonment. It is apples and oranges. I can see a link between kidnapping and false imprisonment. It is a similar experience. The intent of the perpetrator is the same, but that distinction is important...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement: Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (22 Sep 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: Okay, I will clarify that. National courts can act in the public interest. Investor courts act in the interests of the corporations. They are separate entities. It is apples and oranges to try to compare the two. These are special investor courts. I am not talking about a trip down to the Four Courts. I am talking about a special, separate system - the Minister knows I am - whereby our...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Double Taxation Agreements: Minister for Finance (14 Jul 2021)

Mick Barry: ...tax rate is in this State? Zucman stated it is 4%, Deloitte, Matheson and Grant Thornton have all marketed themselves as companies that pay an effective 2.5% tax rate in this State. We know in 2017 Apple, Google, Facebook and Oracle paid less than 1%. The galleries would collapse in laughter if the State was to try to keep a straight face while arguing the effective tax rate is 12.5%....

Emer Higgins: ...and rebalance the work-life pressures so many families face. Connection to high-speed broadband is key to unlocking the potential of remote working, which I believe is the way forward. Today, Apple employs more people in Ireland remotely than in offices. Right now, the majority of employees in large and multinational corporations are working from home. With the new right to be able...

Seanad: Workplace Relations (Miscellaneous Provisions Bill) 2021: Second Stage (12 Jul 2021)

Paul Gavan: ...breaches of employment law in recent years. The scale and nature of these breaches reveal the dark underbelly of the Irish economy which must be stamped out. The idea that there are only a few select bad apples breaching employment rights and workers' rights has been blown apart by the data. We can see that it is not just a tiny minority and that there are in fact breaches right across...

Education (Student and Parent Charter) Bill 2019 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (8 Jul 2021)

Mattie McGrath: ...and the voluntary boards. I mentioned the nuns earlier. The parish priests, lets us be fair to them, are also stretched as are their boards of management. I would defend them anywhere. People in this House have attacked the parish priests and the nuns. It is fashionable now to attack them. There were a few bad apples, as there are in every society, but I want to defend the sisters....

Eoin Ó Broin: ...actually the same as what the State would give a local authority not only to build or to buy but also to manage and maintain social housing stock over the same period of time. We are not comparing apples and oranges. Therefore, from the very get go, the private sector is being given a better deal and a higher level of remuneration for the provision, management and maintenance of the...

...be in and out fairly quickly and should take three to six months. In cases involving sums of €1 billion to €6 billion, it took those involved 11 months just to prepare for the hearing. It is apples and pears. There is a huge spectrum. On average, I would like things to be in and out within an year. That is the desire. As I say, the reality is somewhat different.
