Dara Calleary: I welcome the team from IBEC. Deputy Seán Kyne and I had a fairly good discussion with Ms Suonperä and IBEC west members in Galway last week, so I will keep my questions relatively brief. I agree with IBEC's, as it were, austerity-lite proposals. What would Mr. O'Brien say to the argument that some would put forward that if we go the way IBEC suggests, it will send out a wrong...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Work Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Mar 2022)

Paul Murphy: Is it fair to say IBEC's position has very substantially shaped what is in the Government's proposal and that it is close to what IBEC was in favour of? IBEC is clearly against any legislation at all but if there is to be legislation, IBEC's position is that the employer has the absolute right to say no with no substantive appeal.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Better Care, Better Business Report: IBEC (19 Jun 2024)

Richard Bruton: I suggest IBEC does a survey of the practices of its employers so we get a baseline picture of what is available and the direction of travel. I will move on. I share IBEC's belief that we need statutory home care and the ESRI has estimated its cost at about €500 million. Will that be in the IBEC pre-budget submission? Is it looking for that to be done? IBEC will be knocking on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion (15 Jul 2014) See 1 other result from this debate

Seán Fleming: When it comes to balancing the books, IBEC has no idea where this money will come from. I would have expected IBEC to be a little more specific than simply asking for current expenditure adjustments of €385 million and saying it has no ideas as to where the money will come from. None of the companies that are members of IBEC could run their businesses if they needed to make savings...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017: Discussion (24 Jan 2018)

Jack Chambers: In law? Just to be to be clear, does IBEC believe it should be in law as a general ground if it is made more clear?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Challenges Facing the Technology Sector: Discussion (23 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: In IBEC's statement, it refers to the need for a strong, stable and coherent regulatory framework and an agile and workable regulatory framework is obviously important. In its statement, IBEC said that the State sometimes leads and sometimes follows. Can the witnesses from IBEC elaborate on this? In particular, could they focus on the need for greater cohesion between Departments?

They are protected, and nobody, by the way, in this room or any other room, is calling for those protections to be lifted from IBEC's members. Those protections are important and they exist. The fact that IBEC's members do not...
