Seán Sherlock (Cork East, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I beg the Chairman's indulgence. To a certain extent, I understand the motive behind the amendment, but one must factor into the equation a corpus of environmental, health and safety and employment law. The issue of negative or positive externalities does not arise. We must ensure that there is robust legislation. Every citizen is subject to the existing corpus of law and companies are legally obliged to comply with all Acts of the Oireachtas.

That is already inherent, thereby rendering the amendment unsupportable in that sense.
