Pa Daly: ...letters and much bigger. For example, someone driving through east Limerick sees a sign for Oola, and this spelling is ridiculous. What really should be there is the Irish language Úlla, which means apples, and this is what should be prioritised.

Jackie Cahill: ...from the Charities Regulator, An Taisce secured two thirds of its income in 2019 from central Government and local authorities.

This is a hugely important project for the country, not only for farmers and Glanbia, but for the economy of rural Ireland. Can we allow this legal process to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Conference on the Future of Europe: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Nov 2020)

Lisa Chambers: ...citizens would associate with the European Union. Perhaps they also associate taxation with the Union, to a lesser extent. We have been hearing a little bit about that, perhaps as a result of the Apple tax case and a push at EU level for us to change how we organise our tax system. Those are the topics that will likely occur to Irish citizens. There seem to be predefined topics for...

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...other words, it acknowledged that there is not clarity around it. That is a nice way of responding to the fact that they were heavily lobbied by the producer companies to essentially not upset the apple cart, and to try to make an exceptional case for the film industry around its episodic nature and the role of the DACs. It is that lack of absolute clarity about the relationship between...

...businesses. Many small rural merchants are family-owned and family-driven. They provide employment and are largely rural-based. There are very limited employment opportunities in the west. We do not have too many Apples, Googles or Amazons. Unfortunately, we are all based here on the west coast. This regulation is going to affect rural Ireland and rural employment. This will impact...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (11 Nov 2020)

Alice-Mary Higgins: I am not asking about the programme for Government. I am asking about the European Council meeting. I am conscious that we are mixing oranges and apples a bit. Irrespective of what is in the programme for Government about 7% and how that is calculated, what we are really discussing here is the EU framework which is based on reductions against 1990 levels. Could Mr. Carroll specifically...

Fintan Warfield: ...questions to Mr. Lynch. I want first to ask about RTÉ's plans around streaming and the RTÉ player, which is mentioned in some of the documents send to the committee. I use the RTÉ player on Apple TV. I am familiar with its intricacies, particularly in terms of live television. How can RTÉ better compete with streaming platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+...

Seanad: Seanad Electoral (University Members) (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (10 Nov 2020)

Barry Ward: I am in no way a small parcel. However, Senator McDowell is somewhat comparing apples with oranges when talking about the different votes because the electorates and the size of the electorates on each panel are very different. There is a danger of suggesting that this House should be elected in the same way as the Dáil is elected. I doubt that anybody is suggesting that, but we do...

Finance Bill 2020: Second Stage (Resumed) (5 Nov 2020)

Michael McNamara: ...us alongside countries that we want to be like, but we are not in the middle in the real picture. If one views our borrowings as a percentage of GNI, they represent 11%. One could say that we were comparing apples and oranges. Spain would be the next highest country, but its GDP and GNI are not very different. It is in the Netherlands, Ireland and Luxembourg where there is a massive...

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (5 Nov 2020)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...an issue that may appear a bit awkward. I am sure it will not be lost on people that today the Government is bringing through legislation that aims to protect the EU's financial interest while we still have the ongoing saga of Apple's tax affairs. The Government's attitude towards the Commission was to fight it in the courts instead of doing the right thing in that regard. I know this...

Level 5 Response to Covid-19: Statements (Resumed) (23 Oct 2020)

Bernard Durkan: ...it is possible at all. I do not know how the isolation of people for ten or 14 days after air travel will work. I want to address the comparison with New Zealand. It is chalk and cheese, or apples and oranges. There is no comparison to be made with a country with vast areas with very little population and little air travel compared to our situation. We live in a country with a...

John Lahart: ...be bad and have done something wrong or none of these things would have happened to him or her. When, over time, there is a glimmer of hope or some kindly person starts to shake the tree and some apples of truth begin to fall, and society evolves to a point where it becomes clear that these things are not tolerable in any right-thinking, healthy and modern society, we can imagine the...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: State Aid (21 Oct 2020)

Paschal Donohoe: The European Commission has lodged an appeal to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in the Apple State aid case. An appeal to the CJEU must be on a point, or points, of law. The party appealing may challenge the General Court of the European Union’s (GCEU) interpretation of the State aid rules and the application of them to the case, but not the facts of the case, as...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 Oct 2020)

Malcolm Byrne: I join with the Cathaoirleach in commending Senator Flynn on her important contribution. Overnight, the US House Judiciary Committee produced a 449-page report on the monopolistic practices of Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google. While there is disagreement on what action is needed to be taken, clearly the case has been found that these companies are abusing a dominant position. They have...

Paul Gavan: ...working as a trade union official with red meat workers. What is not often said, and it needs to be said, is that our red meat industry is rife with exploitation. We are not talking about a few bad apples. We are talking about an industry that is rife with exploitation.When I worked with those workers, I could see first-hand the back-breaking work they undertook and the repetitive...
