Prayer. 07/10/2015A00100Ceisteanna - Questions 07/10/2015A00200Priority Questions 07/10/2015A00250GLAS Administration 07/10/2015A003001� Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the progress made to date in rolling out the green low-carbon agri-environment scheme; the chang- es to the second tranche of the scheme; the reason for these changes; when farmers will be informed of the decision on their applications for the current tranche; the expected expenditure on the scheme in 2015 and in 2016; and if he will make a statement on the matter� [34253/15] 07/10/2015A00400Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív: When the Minister announced the green low-carbon agri-envi- ronment scheme, GLAS, he said it was targeted, between 2014 and 2020, on reaching 50,000 farmers at an average payment of €5,000, and when he launched the first tranche of the scheme, he said it would reach 30,000 farmers at a payment €5,000. He mentioned repeatedly the figure of €5,000. It appears as if there could be a 25% shortfall in the expenditure on the first tranche of the scheme� The Minister announced a second tranche of the scheme but he has cut that back severely. Is he satisfied he will achieve his target of reaching 50,000 farmers at an average payment of €5,000? I presume he will increase the number to 60,000 if the average payment is less than that figure. Will he advise why there are these cutbacks so early in the scheme which will hurt farmers? 07/10/2015A00500Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine(Deputy Simon Coveney): First, there are no cutbacks early in the scheme� Second, we always said the maximum payment for GLAS was €5,000, or €7,000 for GLAS+� We also said that we thought the average payment would be very close to the maximum payment of €5,000 because the majority of farmers would be able to draw down the full amount� Let us be accurate about what was said rather than trying to change things� The first tranche of GLAS has proved to be hugely successful, attracting nearly 27,000 2 7 October 2015 applicants in all� Applications were received from every single county and virtually every ac- tion was selected at some stage� On the basis of the interest shown to date, I have no doubt that GLAS will succeed in attracting the 50,000 applications projected over the lifetime of the scheme. We have a projected figure of about €250 million of expenditure per year when the full 50,000 applicants are in the scheme, but we always said this would have to happen on a phased basis� Farming organisations bought into that at the time� We have 27,000 applications now� We will open applications for tranche two next week, which will take into another 10,000� Therefore, we will have roughly 36,000 farmers in GLAS by next year, with the second tranche starting from 1 January� We will then progress after that to move up to the full 50,000 appli- cants when we can afford to do it� Nobody was suggesting or expecting that we would have the full 50,000 applicants in the scheme in the first year. That would be totally unrealistic. I expect that the first approvals for GLAS will issue next week or very shortly thereafter. On the basis of the expected intake, expenditure this year on GLAS will be €20 million� Prepara- tions for the discussions on 2016 Estimate for next year are under way and we will hear much more about that next week� 07/10/2015A00600An Leas-Cheann Comhairle: Thank you, Minister� 07/10/2015A00700Deputy Simon Coveney: I will come back to this later� 07/10/2015A00800Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív: Will the Minister confirm that in respect of tranche 1, farmers will get paid from 1 October this year? Will he further confirm that those payments will issue by Christmas----- 07/10/2015A00900Deputy Simon Coveney: Today is 7 October� The Deputy asked if they will be paid by 1 October� 07/10/2015A01000Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív: Will the contract date be 1 October or will it be the date they are notified by the Minister’s Department that they have been accepted into the scheme? 07/10/2015A01100Deputy Simon Coveney: Okay� 07/10/2015A01200Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív: There seem to be confusing messages on that� Will those farmers be paid by Christmas? The Minister seems to be indicating they will� Where there are prime work plans and where commonages are not yet prepared and may not be prepared for some considerable time, will those farmers get paid with effect from 1 October this year and will they get paid by Christmas this year? The IFA has sought funding of €250 million next year for 50,000 GLAS and agri-environ- ment options scheme, AEOS, participants in 2016. Will the Minister confirm whether €250 million will be provided for GLAS and AEOS next year? 07/10/2015A01300Deputy Simon Coveney: We want to pay out on GLAS for the last three months of this year - October, November and December - which is what we said we would do and

  • Water Wars in Ireland
    new masses: ireland and armenia In this number, nlr’s ‘New Masses, New Media’ series examines the character of the recent protests in Armenia and Ireland, both sparked by price hikes for basic goods: electricity in one case, water in the other. Comparable in population—4.5m and 3m, respectively—Ireland as a whole is three times the size of Armenia. Historically, both have been shaped by their location between two imperial powers: Britain and America, Turkey and Russia. If there is an eerie parallel in the numbers estimated to have perished in the Irish Famine and the Armenian Genocide—between 800,000 and a million—the deliberately exterminationist policies of the Young Turks are of a different order of political and moral malignity to the laissez-faire arrogance of English colonialism. A mark of these dark pasts, in both cases the diaspora significantly outweighs the domestic population. In recent times, both countries have figured on the margin of larger economic unions, the eu and cis; as a result, their trajectories in the 1990s were diametrically opposed. Armenia had been a high-end industrial hub within the Soviet Union, specializing in machine goods and electronic products. Already hit by the 1988 earthquake, its economy suffered one of the sharpest contractions of the former ussr as industrial disruption was exacerbated by war and blockade. From $2.25bn in 1990, Armenian gdp dropped to $1.2bn in 1993; it did not recover to its Soviet-era level until 2002. By that time, the population had fallen by 15 per cent, from 3.54m in 1990 to barely 3m; by 2013 it was down to 2.97m.

  • FINANCE Offshore Finance.Pdf
    This page intentionally left blank OFFSHORE FINANCE It is estimated that up to 60 per cent of the world’s money may be located oVshore, where half of all financial transactions are said to take place. Meanwhile, there is a perception that secrecy about oVshore is encouraged to obfuscate tax evasion and money laundering. Depending upon the criteria used to identify them, there are between forty and eighty oVshore finance centres spread around the world. The tax rules that apply in these jurisdictions are determined by the jurisdictions themselves and often are more benign than comparative rules that apply in the larger financial centres globally. This gives rise to potential for the development of tax mitigation strategies. McCann provides a detailed analysis of the global oVshore environment, outlining the extent of the information available and how that information might be used in assessing the quality of individual jurisdictions, as well as examining whether some of the perceptions about ‘OVshore’ are valid. He analyses the ongoing work of what have become known as the ‘standard setters’ – including the Financial Stability Forum, the Financial Action Task Force, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The book also oVers some suggestions as to what the future might hold for oVshore finance. HILTON Mc CANN was the Acting Chief Executive of the Financial Services Commission, Mauritius. He has held senior positions in the respective regulatory authorities in the Isle of Man, Malta and Mauritius. Having trained as a banker, he began his regulatory career supervising banks in the Isle of Man.

  • THE IRISH LEGISLATIVE GENDER QUOTA: Analysing Implementation & Outcome
    Bachelor Dissertation Seán Dunleavy - 15006816 European Studies – Faculty of Management & Organization The Hague University of Applied Sciences ………. THE IRISH LEGISLATIVE GENDER QUOTA: Analysing Implementation & Outcome ………. 08/01/2019 Supervisor: Dr. Krijtenburg Word count: 20,056 i The Irish Legislative Gender Quota: Analysing Implementation & Outcome Sean Dunleavy Executive Summary The title of this dissertation, “the Irish Legislative Gender Quota: Analysing Implementation & Outcome”, is specifically related to the Electoral (Amendment) (Political Funding) Act 2012, which requires political parties to field at least 30 percent candidates from the minority represented sex, with penalty for failure to comply resulting in a halving of state funding. Overall, given the difficulties observed during the 2016 general election campaign, and indeed now again in preparation for the next election, it is important to understand if these reforms are solely responsible for achieving increased female representation. Why difficulties during selection conventions are occurring, and how they can be best overcome. The main question is as follows: ‘Has the introduction of state mandated gender quotas for political party election candidates in the Republic of Ireland had the desired effects both in terms of implementation and ultimate outcome?’ Both qualitative and quantitative methods of research were conducted for this dissertation report. Qualitative research was used to collect and analyse, with the work of Irish academics Buckley, of University College Cork, Galligan, of Queen's University Belfast, & McGing, of Maynooth University, found to be of particular importance when detailing any aspect specific to Ireland. The majority of reviewed literature publications would take the form of academic journals and government sponsored publications.

  • Annual Report 2019
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 FOREWORD Carlow is a progressive, vibrant County which is attractive, inclusive and accessible. Carlow County Council is committed to providing the highest quality public services for local residents, visitors and for new and existing companies, from multinationals to entrepreneurs and SMEs. Creating an environment for economic growth and driving quality of life for all is a priority for this Council. We are pleased to introduce the Carlow County Council Annual Report 2019, which outlines the work of the Council in delivering important public services during the year, all of which contribute to making County Carlow an attractive place in which to work, live and do business. 2019 has seen the strengthening of the Council’s role in economic development and community development and this is welcomed by all. It must be acknowledged that the changing economic climate both at national and local levels have made a defining influence on the extent to which our services are delivered. Despite the reduction in human and financial resources in recent years, Carlow County Council continues to deliver a high standard of service. The Council welcomes the easing of financial restrictions and the improving economic position. Our staff, with the support and leadership of the elected members, continue to maintain and deliver quality services as referenced in our Corporate Plan, whilst also keeping the Council on a firm financial standing. Similar to all local authorities in the country, Carlow County Council relies heavily on government funding. It follows that a reduction in overall funding can profoundly impact on our capacity to deliver our services and any increase in funding enables the Council to leverage these monies to provide additional and enhanced services.

  • Draft Kilkenny County Development Plan 2021-2027
    12th March 2021 Planning Department, Kilkenny County Council, County Hall, John Street, Kilkenny, Co. Kilkenny R95 A39T Re: Draft Kilkenny City and County Development Plan 2021 – 2027 A chara, Thank you for your authority’s work in preparing the draft Kilkenny City and County Development Plan, 2021 – 2027 (the draft Plan). The Office of the Planning Regulator (the Office) wishes to acknowledge the considerable and evident work your authority has put in to the preparation of the draft plan against the backdrop of an evolving national and regional planning policy and regulatory context, which included taking account of the National Planning Framework (NPF), the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES) for the Southern Regional Assembly area and the establishment of the Office.

  • Where's the Harm in Tax Competition?
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Limerick Institutional Repository Final Author’s Draft, submitted to Critical Perspectives on Accounting, published in 2005 Where’s the harm in tax competition? Lessons from US multinationals in Ireland Sheila Killian Kemmy Business School, University of Limerick, Ireland Abstract The term “harmful tax competition” has become endemic. It is taken as a tautology that competition among nations for the favors of multinational companies, using their tax systems as bait, is harmful. This is a view held even by those who believe competition to be an inherently good thing in most other areas of business. However, the nature of the harm is rarely analyzed, nor are the parties most harmed identified. This paper attempts to redress the balance. Using the case of technology-based US multinationals located in Ireland, it analyses the benefits and hazards to major stakeholders of tax rules that encourage multinationals to locate part of their operation offshore. I argue that tax competition, even that not considered harmful by the OECD, can damage not only the home country of the emigrating multinational, but also the host country gaining the investment, local communities and the environment. © 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Keywords: Tax competition; Multinational; Double tax treaty; Stakeholders; Nation state; OECD; Ireland; Tax haven; Transfer pricing; Power 1. Introduction Shackelford and Shevlin (2001) , in a comprehensive review of empirical tax research in accounting, reduced the literature so far to three questions: Do taxes matter? If not, why not? If so, how much? The first question is critical.
