CJEU Judgment in Apple State Aid Case: Statements (18 Sep 2024)

Matt Carthy: I recall in November 2016 that I was an MEP when the Fine Gael Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan, attended the European Parliament's economic and monetary affairs committee. I asked him about the so-called double Irish, one of the many practices that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael had created to allow the wealthiest corporations in the world avoid paying their taxes. The scheme at...

CJEU Judgment in Apple State Aid Case: Statements (18 Sep 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Apple tax scandal brings the dreadful decisions taken by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael on behalf of the people into plain sight. First, to facilitate one company making a profit of €104 billion without paying any corporation tax is reckless on a global scale. What kind of a show was Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael running that allowed stateless companies with no tax residence...

CJEU Judgment in Apple State Aid Case: Statements (18 Sep 2024)

Gerald Nash: As soon as the Apple judgment was announced, we in Labour called for statements and a debate in this House on this very important matter. The position is now final but it is disappointing we do not have enough time to debate this very important issue and the ramifications of it. In summary, the ECJ has found that a tax advantage provided to Apple by way of the 1991 and separate 2007 rulings...

CJEU Judgment in Apple State Aid Case: Statements (18 Sep 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome the judgment. In future, I hope the Minister will listen and take heed of what Teachta Doherty is telling him because once again he has been proven right. He was not alone. The Government was warned repeatedly that the inevitable outcome of its challenge would be this money being returned to the State. The reputational damage done by the wrong-headed Government, with the support...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Aligning Disability Funding with the UNCRPD: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Sep 2024)

Seán Canney: I welcome the Minister of State and her officials to the committee. I have been listening to the debate since I came into the committee room. I read the Minister of State’s opening remarks - I was in the Dáil while she delivered them. I will return to the Committee on Budgetary Oversight when I am finished here. Like me, the Minister of State gets queries coming into her...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Aligning Disability Funding with the UNCRPD: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Sep 2024)

Seán Canney: I know it is the Department of Finance that makes the decisions but what I and I suppose everybody else finds is that this is a disability issue. I will be meeting both Ministers, Deputies Chambers and Donohoe, shortly in the next room and I will ask them the same question. We are five years talking about it and-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Aligning Disability Funding with the UNCRPD: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Sep 2024)

Seán Canney: What are the results of it after 12 months? Has anybody come back?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Aligning Disability Funding with the UNCRPD: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Sep 2024)

Seán Canney: How many have come back? Will it make an appreciable difference? This is probably not widely known by many people. Where is it being targeted? How is it being advertised? How do the people in the Australia, New Zealand, Canada or wherever know about it? Is it a follow-up of graduates? How is it being done?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Aligning Disability Funding with the UNCRPD: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Sep 2024)

Seán Canney: Does the Minister of State know of any changes to the housing adaptation and mobility aids grants that were under review? Has she heard? Will something happen for disabilities?

CJEU Judgment in Apple State Aid Case: Statements (18 Sep 2024)

Pearse Doherty: I welcome young Reese Ward, a primary school pupil from Letterkenny who is here interested in this debate because this is about all of our futures. I am sure that if Reese was looking at a parliament anywhere else in the world, he would be waiting a long time for a finance minister to get to his feet and tell the parliament that he is disappointed that the state is to receive €14.1...

Matt Carthy: That is crazy.

CJEU Judgment in Apple State Aid Case: Statements (18 Sep 2024)

Jack Chambers: As Deputies will be aware, in order to comply with the 2016 decision of the Commission, while the litigation process was ongoing, in 2018, the state aid identified by the Commission was placed by Apple into an escrow fund, with the proceeds to be released only when there had been a final determination in the European courts. A detailed confidential legal document, the escrow deed, was agreed...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (18 Sep 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I say to the Taoiseach that there are no red lines for Israel. There is no atrocity it will not commit or horror it will not perpetrate. The latest one is by any definition an act of reckless, murderous state terrorism. This is the evil genius of getting thousands of pagers and putting explosives inside the pagers and then simultaneously detonating them all over Lebanon and parts of Syria....

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (18 Sep 2024)

Matt Carthy: As we sit here, bombs are exploding across Lebanon. They are exploding in supermarkets, offices and cars and they are indiscriminate in the taking and injuring of life. This is clearly a strategic move on the part of the Israeli regime that is designed to escalate the conflict more widely and, crucially from its perspective, to bring the United States directly into the conflict. I can only...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (18 Sep 2024)

Peadar Tóibín: Aontú has long been calling on the Government to introduce a common-sense migration policy. We want one that determines who needs help and who does not, and to do so in a speedy fashion in order that decisions can be made about whether people can stay in this country or are returned. We have been raising that information for the past two or three years yet the EU migration pact was...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (18 Sep 2024)

Simon Harris: I thank colleagues for raising this first issue. I am conscious as we are sitting in this House and in the time since I have come into this House, there have been significant further developments and escalations in Lebanon with the explosions the Deputies have referred to of walkie-talkies. This follows on yesterday from the explosion of pager devices. This situation should be utterly...
