Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of the Cooperative Societies Bill 2022: Discussion

Mr. T.J. Flanagan:

We certainly see no benefit in the context of the couple of hundred co-operatives in our network because to be fair our co-operatives are commercial entities that come together to achieve scale in order to do their business, whether they are farmers, service providers or otherwise. I do not think it would have any provision. It would be a drag on the sector. I do not believe it would be appropriate but that does not mean it is not suitable for other sectors.
