Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 7: In page 36, lines 25 and 26, to delete “to the appellant subject to such redactions”. This amendment is on transparency.

Amendments...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Control of Exports Bill 2023: Committee Stage (28 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Nobody wants to do that. We are all at one on that issue. The Minister of State has just said the Minister will be bound by the decision of the adjudicator. If the Minister is to be bound by something about which he or she does not have full information because some of it will be redacted, that is problematic. I welcome the offer of a briefing on this and we will take the Minister of...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Control of Exports Bill 2023: Committee Stage (28 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I have one specific question. The Minister of State said that this reflects his thinking and that of the Department. I should have started by thanking the Minister of State's officials for all their work on this. I appreciate them coming in. Nobody is picking holes in this except to try to be helpful. That is all. I understand the amount of work that goes into it and I thank the...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Control of Exports Bill 2023: Committee Stage (28 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: That is fair enough. I have a bit more to engage the Minister on in relation to this. I am content to withdraw my amendments.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (28 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Yesterday, I was with the Iceland workers in Talbot Street. They turned up for work on Monday morning only to be told that they had been sacked and that the shop is closing. They are owed wages and holiday pay and have no idea when they are going to get either. The examinership process is under way, but it is not acceptable that they have been left in limbo while workers in other stores do...

Its results, like those of previous EPA reports were, unfortunately, greeted with a sigh of resignation across north County Dublin. It is nothing we have not seen before. For many years, people have been raising their voices to highlight the dire quality of bathing water in Balbriggan. The State and Fingal County Council have...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Food Industry (29 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I am on record as having welcomed the establishment of the agrifood regulator.

To be clear, I am raising this issue on behalf of consumers and also on behalf of retailers and primary producers....

Louise O'Reilly: The French Finance Minister recently convened a meeting of several large food companies to discuss the price of food items and he managed to secure a pledge from firms like Unilever to cut prices.
