Ceist:

185. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance if he has sent any communication, or if he intends to send any communication or officials from his Department or the Revenue Commissioners to the U.S. Senate Committee that undertook a case study on Apple's tax activities, specifically in Ireland, which refute the allegations that Ireland is a tax haven for multinational corporations and that Apple was offered a special deal by the Irish State on corporation tax.

As I have said in the Dáil previously we are in regular contact with our friends in the United States and we will communicate the issues referred to by the Deputy in the appropriate way at the appropriate time.
