It is not a question but more of an observation that we can perhaps pick up at a later date. Where there are issues around breaches of workers' rights and entitlements or non-recognition of trade unions, or where a trade union is active and a WRC...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Development of Indigenous Irish Enterprise: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: It is an issue on the east coast as well as the west. People on the east coast would also like to see the same emphasis on job creation in this area, which will definitely come, maybe not this year, but in future. I have a question for both witnesses. We recently heard from the National Competitiveness and Productivity Council, NCPC, which told us: "The attractiveness of a location...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Development of Indigenous Irish Enterprise: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I want to ask our guests for their views on the scope for growth for workers' co-operatives. I am sure they are more than aware that there is legislation in train to reform the area of co-operatives.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Development of Indigenous Irish Enterprise: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I apologise for interrupting Mr. Clancy but does Enterprise Ireland have a specific unit? Going back many years, and I am showing my age now, there used to be a specific co-operative development unit and it was very focused.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Development of Indigenous Irish Enterprise: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I have one question and then must leave the meeting. This is something that we will follow up on in a more detailed discussion. I had an engagement with Mr. Clancy recently and we will have further engagements. I am trying to understand the point at which issues around workers' rights, supporting decent jobs and so on enter the process. Perhaps Mr. Clancy might enlighten us as to the point...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Development of Indigenous Irish Enterprise: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: That might be a conversation we have at a later date. Mr. Clancy mentioned cost-benefit analyses and other analyses of Enterprise Ireland's investments. Obviously, salaries form part of that but we have a voluntary system of industrial relations. Sin scéal eile as to whether that works, but it is what it is. Mr. Clancy mentioned statutory requirements. In many instances, those are...
