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)

Maurice Quinlivan: That concludes the first round. I have a brief question myself. There is a perception that white collar crime, financial crime or whatever one wants to call it has not been treated properly over the last years. I welcome the Minister's comments on a number of questions. I had similar questions but they have been asked already. Did I hear correctly that the budget for next year is being...

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)

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Tánaiste. This committee will not be lax in getting this legislation through as fast as we can. I have a quick technical question for the Tánaiste. The ODCE is located on Parnell Square. Is it intended for the new organisation to be located there as well or will there be a new site?

Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (27 Jan 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: I am happy to speak on this matter. We may be a bit late in transposing the directive but it is important that the Bill is passed. Last week at the Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment, members heard from Ian Drennan, director of the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, regarding the establishment of the new corporate enforcement agency. Our discussion at the committee...

Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 (Covid Restrictions Support Scheme) (Percentage Adjustment) Order 2021: Motion (27 Jan 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: I support the Sinn Féin amendment tabled by my colleague, Deputy Doherty. It is a vital amendment and it addresses the people who have not been able to avail of this scheme. The continuation and adjustment of the Covid support scheme is vital work that we must complete and I echo the comments of my colleagues regarding the necessity of sustaining and amending it. Businesses have...

Criminal Justice (Public Order) (Quadbikes and Scramblers) (Amendment) Bill 2021: First Stage (27 Jan 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: We have spoken on this in the House on a number of occasions, including in a previous Dáil, and it is an issue that needs to be addressed. Unfortunately, it overwhelmingly affects working-class communities and that is why I believe no action has been taken on it to date. Scramblers and quad bikes are also a nuisance to local communities across the State. We have seen greenways and...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (27 Jan 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: Last week, I raised this issue with the Taoiseach and told him there would be a meeting on Friday. That meeting with the Minister, Deputy Ryan, took place and there is only one word to describe it, which is disastrous. He walked into the Moyross community and told them what was best for them and did not listen to what they said. This road is critical infrastructure for the regeneration...
