Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Screening of Third Country Transactions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Jan 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: It has. I tabled a number of amendments in a similar vein that were ruled out of order regarding the inclusion of the public good. These include amendments Nos. 3, 12, 24, 27, 29 and 31 to 33, inclusive, and many more. I recognise the importance of establishing a mechanism to screen foreign direct investment but the public good is also important. We have seen that housing and other...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Screening of Third Country Transactions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Jan 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 11: In page 9, lines 3 and 4, to delete “15 months” and substitute “12 months”. Given that we are here to consider serious and important legislation relating to foreign direct investment, FDI, I ask that the first review be within the first year of the operation of the legislation. I understand there is a need to allow legislation to bed...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Screening of Third Country Transactions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Jan 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: No, it was grouped with other amendments.

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Screening of Third Country Transactions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Jan 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I oppose this section. Does the Minister of State not feel that the legislation already gives him enough powers, without necessarily needing the power to change aspects of the legislation by way of regulation? I am always very nervous of this. I understand that subsection (3) provides for those regulations to be laid before the House, but it does not reduce the fact that section 5 offers...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Screening of Third Country Transactions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Jan 2023)

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Screening of Third Country Transactions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Jan 2023)

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Screening of Third Country Transactions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Jan 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I will speak to amendments Nos. 22, 30, 34 and 35, if that is okay. I do not know if they are all grouped but there is no sense in repeating myself when the next group comes up. This Bill is very technical, but it is also fairly political in nature in the context of the ever-changing geopolitical situation, which the Minister of State just outlined, and the need to ensure the safety and...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Screening of Third Country Transactions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Jan 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I dearly wish the Government would change its housing policy. I genuinely feel, given the situation we are in, that housing should form part of this. I accept what the Minister of State is saying about potentially having to screen absolutely everything, everything having to be notified and the impact that might have. Does he take my point about it being an important area? We know foreign...
