Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 March 2016
78. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance the number of documents his Department has handed over to the European Commission regarding the investigation into a company (details supplied); the number requested to date; the date of each set of requests; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5130/16]
View answerGiven the confidential and legal nature of the ongoing process I do not propose to make a detailed comment on the matter at this time, save to say that Ireland has co-operated fully with the EU Commission's investigation since the first information request was received in June 2013. We have submitted comprehensive responses throughout the process to address the Commission's questions, making it clear that the appropriate amount of Irish tax was charged in this case in accordance with the relevant legislation.
