Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Current Issues Affecting Trade in Ireland: Enterprise Ireland (9 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I apologise if I ask a question that has been asked already. The delegates should feel free to refer me to the transcript. I have two questions. The first relates to the inclusion or exclusion of data centres. I was here for some of the discussion earlier in this regard. Mr. Leahy said he had advice that the industries and areas excluded are ones in respect of which it would be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Current Issues Affecting Trade in Ireland: Enterprise Ireland (9 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I have more faith in Enterprise Ireland because I believe it absolutely could exclude data centres were it the policy. However, as we see, the red carpet is the policy for them instead. Most employers in the State are decent in that they pay their workers and meet the minimum requirements under the law, but some are not. Consider the circumstances where there is a failure to adhere to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Current Issues Affecting Trade in Ireland: Enterprise Ireland (9 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Mr. Clancy said in his submission, and used a nice turn of phrase, that some companies face a "moderation of their growth ambitions." In layman's terms, namely, in pounds, shillings and pence, what will that mean? There is a lot of talk in the public domain about job losses. I would join with what Mr. Clancy said. People losing their jobs this morning or any morning is a rotten thing....

Home Care: Motion [Private Members] (8 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: It is 15 years since I first engaged with politicians in relation to the issue of home carers and home helps. I was representing them at the time and we warned politicians that there was a crisis coming in home care because of the terms and conditions of employment and because of the privatisation which, as the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, will be aware, fired the starting gun for the...

Credit Guarantee (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I will be shocked if I take 15 minutes, as will everybody else in the Chamber. I promise I will not try to do so. I welcome the opportunity to speak in this debate. The Bill is short and fairly technical but, as the Minister of State outlined, it will, when passed, have significant ramifications for business. Its purpose is to make certain amendments to the Credit Guarantee Act 2012 to...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I will ask a couple of questions after making an observation. I tabled a number of amendments that have been ruled out of order. Amendment No. 39 would have transposed into this Bill the Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020, which was sponsored by Deputy McDonald and me. The Bill was not opposed by the Government, so I do not understand why my amendment has been...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: That answers my question. There will be two tiers of staff and it will be a bit upstairs-downstairs in the public service after the enactment. Deputy Sherlock referred to a list of reasons a person might be availing of this leave. This is something I want to put to bed and I am assuming that the Minister will be in a position to do that today. The reasons they might be availing of this...
