Local Government (Maternity Protection and Other Measures for Members of Local Authorities) Bill 2022: Second Stage (1 Dec 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Acting Chair for the opportunity to speak on this very important legislation. It drives me mad sometimes, and it is very often the case, that we sit in the Chamber late on a Thursday afternoon to discuss what is very much a woman's issue. I understand that the Minister of State is not responsible for scheduling this debate. I intend no criticism of him, but it always seems like...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 32 - Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Minister of State and his officials for attending. I have just a few questions. The first relates to the state aid rules. We know that the scheme is allowed to operate because the rules have been relaxed, but I am curious to know whether we are up to the maximum we can go in respect of that relaxation? Is there scope there? Can we go beyond the 40%? Are we constrained? Is...

Companies that previously availed of the scheme and then paid out dividends to their shareholders would have been seen making big profits. The Minister of...

Vote 32 - Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I take on board the Minister of State's point, and I do not think we are in major disagreement, but it would be very frustrating for companies that could do with a little more to see money going to data centres that are hugely profitable and do not provide many jobs. That will annoy people who are not making large profits but are providing jobs and doing all they can to keep body and soul...
