Finance (State Guarantees, International Financial Institution Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Second Stage (5 Oct 2023)

Finance (State Guarantees, International Financial Institution Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Second Stage (5 Oct 2023)

Catherine Connolly: It should have been done during pre-legislative scrutiny.

Finance (State Guarantees, International Financial Institution Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Second Stage (5 Oct 2023)

Catherine Connolly: I have the most serious doubts about this legislation notwithstanding the work by the three gentlemen and in the Department. I fundamentally disagree with Sinn Féin's view on it. I deplore that there has been no pre-legislative scrutiny, which at the very least would have teased out some of the issues here; I hope the committee will do that. In her speech, the Minister of State...

We are ready to start with Questions to the Minister for Transport but chuir cúrsaí tráchta bac ar chúrsaí na Dála so beidh orainn fanacht beagáinín.
