- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Tackling the Black Market and Retail Crime Report: Discussion (15 Nov 2012)
Mary White: The delegates are welcome. It is frightening to listen to this information and to read about it. A Minister must take this issue by the scruff of the neck and deal with it.

The United States does quite...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Tackling the Black Market and Retail Crime Report: Discussion (15 Nov 2012)
Mary White: We might consider the great work done by the Criminal Assets Bureau. As this is not my area, I am not au fait with it, but from a distance I have admired the work of the CAB which appears to be the most professional investigation unit we have ever had in the State. The region about which I am concerned is the Border area, as well as the issue of paramilitaries. I do not have any...

Mary White: I will reiterate my colleague's comments on the contribution of the institutes of technology. I received a scholarship to attend the college at Bolton Street in 1962. We did not feel as though we were attending a university. The institutes' contribution to the economy down the years has been well recognised. I commend our guests in this regard, including Mr. Costello. Regarding the...
