Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Trade Between Ireland and the Palestinian Territories: Discussion (14 Jul 2021)

Róisín Garvey: I thank the witnesses for coming in. I have been a strong supporter of Palestine for many years. I have done fundraising and attended many protests in Clare, etc. With regard to the occupied territories Bill, the labelling is the big one for me in terms of trying to think of something we can handle. Much of the stuff being asked for is at EU level. I am not sure, as a Senator on an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Trade Between Ireland and the Palestinian Territories: Discussion (14 Jul 2021)

Róisín Garvey: I will happily arrange for the witnesses to meet our two Green Party MEPs, if they would like, to help get some more supports at a European level, if that is helpful. That is a good suggestion by Mr. Konený but if the labelling is not done right, how can we possibly figure out what is coming in from the illegal settlements?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Trade Between Ireland and the Palestinian Territories: Discussion (14 Jul 2021)

Róisín Garvey: I will follow up on that. I would like to take clear action on this as opposed to having many great people coming in and not having follow-up actions. I can ask the food authority to give me a comprehensive list of what it thinks is coming in from the occupied territories at least, in order that we know. That is what Mr. Konený is suggesting in that they should be able to do that. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Trade Between Ireland and the Palestinian Territories: Discussion (14 Jul 2021)

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

Róisín Garvey: I welcome the Minister and thank him for coming in and giving us the time again; the debate continues. I have been wondering about a few issues. Since this first came up, I have spent much time reading through it to try to be as fully informed as possible. I was probably starting off from a place where I did not want to support the agreement. It seems, however, that businesses will have...

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

Róisín Garvey: It is important that we have markets for our businesses. I believe the local enterprise offices, LEO, are doing work with the SMEs, which are good, in helping them to get ready for export. It is really good that we export goods that Canada needs and that we import stuff from Canada that we cannot provide ourselves. I hope we are also looking at making ourselves more sustainable as a...

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

Róisín Garvey: It is good to have a debate but I find some of the arguments against the trade agreement quite simplistic and polarising. I am looking for a good debate on it but members are almost suggesting that we want to ratify this because we want big evil corporations to be able to sue our country and that we do not care about SMEs. It is way more nuanced than that. We should be able to have a...

Róisín Garvey: I thank the Minister for coming to the House today and for this really important work. The programmes are now in their rightful place. The Peter McVerry Trust has stated that failure to complete the junior certificate is a big factor in homelessness. School completion for Travellers, with whom I worked for a number of years doing literacy and numeracy workshops, remains a serious problem....
