Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

Ms Sorcha Tunney:

The financial sector is not included in the directive as a high-risk sector. That is strange. It is a pity. One of the calls is that we are advocating for the financial sector to be included because the OECD guidelines are there for the financial sector and they are a part of that process and framework. I do not understand why that is the case. If we go back to what Deputy Stanton says about the support from businesses, the support is there from investors too for this directive. I do not understand why it is excluded. The Government should seek to have the financial sector included considering our market and where we sit. I do not understand why that is not the case.
