Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of Companies (Corporate Enforcement Authority) Bill 2018 (Resumed): Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (29 Jan 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I have two questions. We had representatives of the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, ODCE, in with us last week. They painted a picture of what they face, particularly in respect of resources. It is clear from what they were saying that a certain amount of white-collar crime is going undetected because the resources are simply not available to deal with it. That is just a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of Companies (Corporate Enforcement Authority) Bill 2018 (Resumed): Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (29 Jan 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I have only a few minutes left. Does the Tánaiste see that power applying to civilians under the auspices of the ODCE, the new agency, as well?

Louise O'Reilly: Could Ms McNamara talk a little bit about the creation of the offence of bid-rigging? I have spoken to, as I am sure have all the Deputies and Senators at this meeting, small bidders, small builders and people who would be bidding for these contracts.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Competition (Amendment) Bill 2021 (2 Feb 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome that. What interests me more is whether we can put a money amount on how much will be saved as a result of this.

It is most likely because of the size of the contracts. Those contracts are so lucrative that...

We had the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, ODCE, in here two weeks ago. It was looking for similar additional powers. Obviously, Ms McNamara feels that more powers are needed. It is in this Bill. I am trying to hone in on...
