Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sale of Tickets (Cultural, Entertainment, Recreational and Sporting Events) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (2 Jun 2021)

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sale of Tickets (Cultural, Entertainment, Recreational and Sporting Events) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (2 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 5: In page 11, to delete lines 38 and 39. During engagement with the Department, did representatives of the industry indicate reluctance to register? A fee always dissuades people. There is no dispute about that. Fees are sometimes introduced as a deterrent, which I accept is not the case here, but I am concerned that the inclusion of a fee here might dissuade...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sale of Tickets (Cultural, Entertainment, Recreational and Sporting Events) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (2 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Minister of State for the clarification. Does he have any idea of the level at which the fee will be set? It is all very well to say it will not be used as a revenue raising measure, but he and I know, that the view of the people who will be paying it might be that it is a revenue raising measure. Can he give a ballpark figure for the fee? On section 7(3), I, probably,...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sale of Tickets (Cultural, Entertainment, Recreational and Sporting Events) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (2 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: Am I correct that the intention is that any fee applied will be solely in respect of the recoupment of administrative costs? In other words, it is not intended for anything else? I accept that as stated by the Minister of State this is not a revenue generating measure. That should not be the case. On the fee, I remain concerned that it will act as a deterrent. Anything that acts as a...

Judicial Council (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (1 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Teachta Pearse Doherty for all of the work he has done, not just on this important legislation, but on the area of insurance. He has been rightly recognised here this evening by those who care to pay attention to exactly what is happening. I listened with interest to the Minister of State. I often think how when Ministers come in and read scripts, it can really sound like they are...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Domestic Violence (27 May 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I do not disagree. Support is absolutely essential. I experienced this personally when I was a workplace representative. Very often people in a domestic violence situation find the abuse is not confined to home. In fact, their workplace becomes a site of abuse. The Minister and I know this happens. While I respect a consultation process is under way, the Minister must also respect...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Domestic Violence (27 May 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: The pandemic has reinforced the need for progressive change in the area of paid leave for victims and survivors of domestic abuse and domestic violence. I am sure the Minister will be aware that yesterday National University of Ireland Galway, NUIG, launched the university's domestic violence leave policy. It is a really good piece of work and I recommend that the Minister take a look at it...

Health and Criminal Justice (Covid-19) (Amendment) Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Second Stage (26 May 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for the opportunity to speak in this debate. I want to refer briefly to a point made by one of the previous speakers. It is utterly ludicrous to suggest that the same measures and approaches should apply on days when there are six cases and on days when there are 6,000 cases. I find it more than ludicrous that the Government and Government representatives should...

International Travel and Aviation: Statements (25 May 2021)

Others have suffered the loss of their jobs. Last week, we...
