Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement: Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (22 Sep 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: Before I ask my question, I will briefly raise the issue of the practice of sending opening statements to committees at the last minute, which the Chair has commented on. It happens quite a lot and it is not helpful. It means we do not have an opportunity to engage with the material and it does not enhance the quality of the debate. The Minister said the statement was not cleared until...

Louise O'Reilly: Is the Minister concerned at all about the introduction of the ICS into our legal system?

Louise O'Reilly: Okay, I will clarify that. National courts can act in the public interest. Investor courts act in the interests of the corporations. They are separate entities. It is apples and oranges to try to compare the two. These are special investor courts. I am not talking about a trip down to the Four Courts. I am talking about a special, separate system - the Minister knows I am - whereby our...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement: Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (22 Sep 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: Indeed, and I appreciate that is the Minister's position. In 2017, his colleague, the Minister for Transport, Deputy Ryan, described CETA as being written and negotiated by big corporate interests and their lobbyists. He said that it was wrong. The Minister clearly does not share those views but I want to go beyond the trade aspect, which is operational. The aspect that gets me every time...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement: Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (22 Sep 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I might return to my question about details beyond the trade aspects of this deal that are operation.
