Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Shoplifting: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank witnesses for all the information they have given us so far. I want to go back to the issue of recruitment and retention. I touched on it earlier. This is something that been raised with me a great deal. I would like the responses to be brief because I do not have as much time as in the first round. I would like a picture of what it is like with regard to staff turnover. We are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Shoplifting: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I want to ask about the supports offered to people, including to the witnesses. All of these incidents, whether it is a combination of a lot of minor incidents or one big one, are all traumatic. All the money in the world would not pay for what some people have to deal with on a daily basis. In the aftermath of a traumatic incident what is done? In my previous work I represented...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Shoplifting: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Even for people with a very thick skin, it will get in on them. The question was twofold. It related to the people working with the witnesses but also for the witnesses themselves. They are getting it in the neck as well.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Shoplifting: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Mr. Jennings mentioned in his presentation that his members are sometimes asked why they do not get their own security. I have engaged with security officers and their representatives. I understand security means an additional cost to CSNA members. I get that. Also, security firms are having difficulty recruiting people who want to be the first or last line of defence in a retail...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee Stage (17 Jan 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: This section is opposed. This is a very important piece of legislation that has huge and significant implications domestically and internationally within Europe. Before I start, I thank the Minister of State and his officials for their engagement on this. It is a complex piece of legislation and we welcome the open door. That has been very useful. Many thanks to the Minister of State and...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee Stage (17 Jan 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 1: In page 8, between lines 28 and 29, to insert the following: “(2) Every regulation served on or given to a person under subsection (1)(a)to (c)shall be signed as received by the person for whom it is served or given, or by a person acting on their behalf.”. I think the amendment is self-explanatory. I am not sure why this has not been provided...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee Stage (17 Jan 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: That is fair enough. It was not my intention to incur any unintended consequences but the Minister of State can see where I am coming from with this. I am happy to withdraw the amendment on the basis we will engage further. He sees the point I am making and I very much accept his point. We do not want to give somebody the capacity to refuse, hide or evade the document but, equally, we...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee Stage (17 Jan 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I understand the intention is not to remove any sections. I am struggling to understand scenarios in which these powers would be necessary for the Minister. Disclosing personal data is a very serious matter. Perhaps the Minister of State could outline a situation where it might happen so that I can better understand it. The disclosure of personal data to a body prescribed by the Minister...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee Stage (17 Jan 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: With regard to amendment No. 19, why are these lines being removed? They relate to an inquiry subject being informed of a decision in respect of an inquiry. Why is that section to be removed? It may be that this is catered for somewhere else in the legislation. I apologise if that is the case.

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee Stage (17 Jan 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: It would be helpful if a case was set out from the beginning to the end so that we could see the stages. It was only when thinking about this amendment in practical terms that it made sense to me. I could see it. I second Deputy Stanton’s call.

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee Stage (17 Jan 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 17: In page 22, to delete lines 31 to 33. This amendment would delete subsection (5A), which reads: "Subsection (5) [of the principal Act] does not apply to a decision where the suspected contravention falls within paragraph (c) of the definition of ‘contravention’ in section 139ZG." Subsection (5) pertains to the publishing of the details of a provider...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee Stage (17 Jan 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I understand. I thank the Minister of State for that clarification. It specifically relates to individuals. My language might not be spot on, but the Minister of State is speaking about people who might be tangentially involved. The entity is the specific focus.

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee Stage (17 Jan 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: The Minister of State is speaking about private individuals rather than individuals acting in a professional capacity. Is that the case regardless of whether they are individuals or must they only be tangentially involved?
