Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Tánaiste. There is a huge opportunity with that. I would like to know what level of interest has been expressed to him on the State-backed guarantee scheme. I recall during Covid there was scepticism about a previous iteration of that but the number of companies taking up the opportunity of those loans was actually very high. It is something that could be kept in...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I congratulate the Tánaiste on his period in the office he is holding at the moment and on the substantial increases he has made to the rights and conditions of workers. We have all been informed so much by Covid and the opportunities to work differently and in better ways. This is a really significant part of that. As the Tánaiste says, it is essential that work does pay and...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Minimum Wage (13 Dec 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Tánaiste. A key part of that better society is continued low unemployment, continued employment opportunities and the opportunity to derive Exchequer returns from PAYE and people paying tax. One of the key parts around incentivising people into the labour market and addressing the cost of creating jobs is looking at taxation. I would reject any attempt to increase...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: International Agreements (13 Dec 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The Tánaiste's response is very welcome, particularly as it is in tandem with the implementation of the third strategy under the Department of Justice. I know the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment conducted a stakeholder consultation on it. I am interested in the tenor of some of the responses that came back and the extent to which they highlighted gender harassment and...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: International Agreements (13 Dec 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The timing of this is wonderful because the Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality, in which the Tánaiste participated at an earlier stage, will publish its report on Thursday, 15 December on ending gender stereotyping, in particular, in Ireland. So much of this, as the convention recognises, comes from what has been an unequal gender-based power relationship for many years. I would...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: There was also a question around how people felt the level of prompting was appropriate or effective, but this has raised a slightly more interesting question, which is that it does not seem to be on the radar yet. Of course, that may change over time. That was what I wanted to ask.
