Covid-19: Motion [Private Members] (10 Feb 2021)

Mattie McGrath: ...Covid strategy will kill off the entire domestic economy. Interestingly, it will not impact on the largest companies in the world today, some of which operate out of Ireland, including Facebook, Apple, Twitter, Google and the large multinationals.

Martin Browne: ...to the tune of over €3 billion. The rich have a habit of getting richer while the poor ultimately get poorer. This is facilitated through a range of measures.

We see those who have the financial resources to avoid paying...

Brexit Readiness for the End of the Transition Period: Statements (17 Dec 2020)

There are huge issues in respect of the roll-out of...

Seán Canney: ...support the Minister in reforming the planning legislation to ensure we give confidence back to investment in this country and to people who want to come here.

Again, that is in my constituency. Perhaps they are a plague...

Planning and Development Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Second Stage (16 Dec 2020)

Seán Canney: ...we have, have a root and branch examination of it and ensure we deliver something which is workable. One of the things which has crept into this area of planning, and we can see it if we look at the situation involving Apple in Athenry, is that the judicial review process is a sham.

...Education. I expect that in the next three to six months we will have visibility and it will be on our website what school is getting broadband and when. Data centres are commercial outfits.

Indeed, any television station licensed by the BAI should be available to Irish viewers on televisions, whether those are Apple, Samsung or other devices.

Alice-Mary Higgins: ...should try to be clear on this. There is capital gains tax on companies and all kinds of transactions that happen in this State, including the sale of companies.

I would like to hear her view, as a Commissioner, on the Commission's decision on 25 September to appeal the Apple case. Does she support the stance of the Commission to lodge an apple in the courts?

Jerry Buttimer: ...there was a time limit of five minutes, so I ask for the Acting Chairman's indulgence for a few minutes.

Róisín Garvey: ...Minister of State, I would be seriously worried about not getting support from the House on this if he does not support the amendment.

The small businesses are the backbone of rural Ireland - and urban Ireland, actually. We know we...

Simon Coveney: ...process and permitting system. What we take for granted today, namely, hopping on a flight to London and doing what one needs to do for a few weeks, if one is a Dutch person working for Apple, Dell or an Irish company that has a footprint in the UK, it is not so straightforward anymore. This is Brexit, I am afraid.

.... They publish names, naming and shaming as the Revenue does in Ireland. All of those things are important to demonstrate that the regulatory system can be enforced.

Otherwise, there is a system where people know they will...
