- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Business of Select Committee
Ex-ante Scrutiny of Budget 2018 (Resumed): Minister for Finance (27 Sep 2017) Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Minister for his answer. Unfortunately, Ministers and taoisigh often say they will use increases in excise. In his opening statement, the Minister spoke about progress on unemployment rates, which is obviously welcome. The fewer people who are unemployed, the better. However, the summer economic statement shows the Government is planning to leave unemployment at 5.5% from 2019...

Ex-ante Scrutiny of Budget 2018 (Resumed): Minister for Finance (27 Sep 2017) Maurice Quinlivan: Yes, but the forecast is that it will be 5.5% for the years to come.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Atypical Work Permit Scheme: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Sep 2017)
Maurice Quinlivan: I have a very quick question for Commander McGrath or Ms Stanley. Their presentation stated the number of non-EEA crew members found on board when the Naval Service did inspections amounted to a total of 134, and that of these a total of 39 had the required letter of approval and 95 did not. Why were they asked for this letter of approval? Does the Naval Service do this routinely? Mr....

Maurice Quinlivan: My question is for the WRC. How many prosecutions have resulted from its investigations? Mr. Dooley stated it has announced and unannounced inspections and that it receives information by satellite on when boats are coming into port. I assume unannounced inspections are done on a ship coming into port when all the crew are on board.
