Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Engagement: Dublin Chamber of Commerce and Chambers Ireland (24 Sep 2019)

Lisa Chambers: I thank the witnesses for their attendance at the committee. I will not go over areas that have been discussed already.

Ms Burke is correct in that we can only control the things that we can control. We have to look at...

Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Statements (18 Sep 2019)

Lisa Chambers: I am sharing time with Deputies Haughey and Troy. With six weeks to go until 31 October, we are facing the very real threat of a no-deal Brexit. We should heed the numerous warning from many EU leaders, including Jean-Claude Juncker who warned earlier today that there is very little time left and that the risk of a no-deal is very real. Despite the persistent political instability in the...

Agriculture: Motion [Private Members] (18 Sep 2019)

Lisa Chambers: The beef crisis that we have seen in this country in recent weeks is unprecedented. Farming is in an extremely difficult place. The price of beef is unsustainable.

With Brexit coming down the tracks and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Brexit Preparations (17 Sep 2019)

Lisa Chambers: I welcome the fact the Tánaiste thinks there will be no empty shelf space. There is concern because when we had bad weather, trucks were not able to travel for a day or two and we did have empty shelves. I am anticipating that if the worst does happen, the calamity around the ports might impact on supply chains, even for a short period, although perhaps that will not happen. I also...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Brexit Preparations (17 Sep 2019)

Lisa Chambers: The Tánaiste's last point about the extra paperwork is something I intended raising with him. Yesterday, I met representatives of the Irish Road Haulage Association. Small hauliers have significant concerns. Citizens will probably be surprised to learn that the average size of a company fleet in Ireland is four trucks. The bigger hauliers will have the capacity to get their paperwork...
