- Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 32 - Business, Enterprise and Innovation (Revised) (27 Mar 2019) Maurice Quinlivan: I start by wishing the clerk to the committee the best of luck in her new role. I believe she is moving to the Committee on Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, but it has been a pleasure working with her for the past number of years. It is approximately two and a half years now that we have been working together, and from what I have seen and experienced with her, she has been an...
- Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 32 - Business, Enterprise and Innovation (Revised) (27 Mar 2019) Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Minister for her presentation and I have three questions relating to programme A.

- Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 32 - Business, Enterprise and Innovation (Revised) (27 Mar 2019) Maurice Quinlivan: Let us go back to the Brexit business supports. I raised this issue with the Minister during Priority Questions. We both agree that there was significant awareness of them.

Does the Minister know if...
