Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals
Ms Caoimhe de Barra:
It is very hard to say. The reality is that legislation is coming. The era of voluntary compliance with voluntary guidelines is over. It is long gone. Legislation is coming. The question is whether Ireland will be at the table to influence the legislation in a positive direction or if we will essentially adopt an inert position on it, which is not Ireland's practice or tradition. What we need to see is political engagement, and we need to see it happening with a degree of urgency.
