Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I hear what the Minister of State is saying. I may not necessarily agree with him but I do not have access to the advice of the Attorney General and, going on previous form, it will not be shared directly with us. I believe the Minister of State understands what I am saying. I was not the one who referred to risky businesses, high interest rates or start-ups. That was the Minister of State. I was only quoting the words he used. It is not that I was bringing up that; I was not. I was talking about viable businesses that need a hand. Sin é.

On the basis of the Minister of State's commitment to engage with us, I will not press this amendment. My office will be in contact with the Minister of State's office to make arrangements for that meeting to happen at the earliest possible opportunity because I believe there is a place for this amendment in the regulations if it is not appropriate for primary legislation. On the basis of the commitment given by the Minister of State I will not press this amendment. My office will contact his office and we can arrange to meet in the very short term because this needs to be done as quickly as possible.
