Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland (Amendment) Bill 2014: Report and Final Stages (23 May 2017)

Pearse Doherty: I welcome the Government's decision to withdraw its amendment. This is a step forward. My original Bill, which was published in 2014, suggested a 60-day window and the current rule is 21 days but that timeframe for a consumer to challenge the outcome of a ruling by the Financial Services Ombudsman in the High Court is very limited when one needs junior and senior counsel. The extension to...

Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland (Amendment) Bill 2014: Report and Final Stages (23 May 2017)

Pearse Doherty: I welcome that clarification. If anything I think my legislation has acted as a prompt for the Government. This Bill was first published in 2014. As it passed Second Stage, the Government produced the heads of its Bill. As it passed Committee Stage, the Government published its legislation. Hopefully as it passes Report and Final Stages in the Dáil tonight, the Government's Bill...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Capital Investment Plan (Resumed): Irish Exporters Association (23 May 2017)

Pearse Doherty: I welcome the witnesses to the committee. The Irish Exporters Association has conducted many surveys among its members which have shown that they are becoming more nervous about the outcome of Brexit as time goes on. The last survey results that I read showed that 92% believed that it would be detrimental to Irish exports. The witnesses said that indigenous businesses are woefully...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Capital Investment Plan (Resumed): Irish Exporters Association (23 May 2017)

Pearse Doherty: Yes. Very helpfully, Mr. McKeever stated there is not one-way traffic. With food, it is two-way. Britain is dependent on us but if there is the type of trade agreement in question, it will be reciprocal. It is not only about tariffs but also about the regulations. If only Ireland and Britain were thrashing this out, we might have some type of outcome but there are many other factors at...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Capital Investment Plan (Resumed): Irish Exporters Association (23 May 2017)

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Capital Investment Plan (Resumed): Irish Exporters Association (23 May 2017)

Pearse Doherty: Mr. McKeever talked about a possible solution, the GoSwift queue management solution. It has been internationally recognised by the OECD and others. Representatives of the Revenue Commissioners were before the finance committee and they talked about how there would be electronic trade management for the vast majority and that 6% of freight could be directed to a location perhaps 10 km to 15...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Capital Investment Plan (Resumed): Irish Exporters Association (23 May 2017)

Pearse Doherty: How can one deal with that? The Estonian GoSwift service operates at three major crossing points but we have a Border that is so porous. In Donegal there are dozens of ways that I can travel the Border. If I am travelling up in Inishowen, will I be diverted to a checkpoint in Letterkenny? What if I am travelling down in Pettigo? We are not going back to the situation where we are closing...
