Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (19 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Apologies for my absence earlier. I will catch up on anything I missed. I also apologise if my question has been asked and answered. I will not ask the witnesses to repeat themselves; they can just refer me to the transcript. It concerns a point that was made about cases being taken, and specifically, the time cases take. I think the word used was "decades". There is an article within...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (19 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I am sorry to cut across Dr. Widdis, but that is my concern. Telling someone that they have the right to do something and then building a big wall between them and that right means that they might as well not have it. The perception that right exists without access to being able to vindicate that right makes it worse.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (19 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Does Dr. Widdis fear that this civil liability is going to be watered down or removed?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (19 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: That is something that we, as a committee, could bring to the attention of the Tánaiste, as the relevant Minister, and try to put it up in lights. I would be surprised if he was not aware of it. However, just in case he is not, it may be useful for us, as a committee, to alert him to that serious concern. Does Ms Lawlor want to comment on the same subject?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (19 Oct 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (19 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I suppose the job for us is to marry up the carrot and the stick, if one likes. We can operate from the assumption that most companies want to have a reputation for being decent and treating their workers well. Nobody wants to wear clothes that have been made by children in sweat shops. However, that will not be enough in terms of persuading people. There will have to be some form of very...

Domestic Electricity and Gas Disconnections: Motion [Private Members] (18 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank my colleague, an Teachta O'Rourke, not just for the important motion, but for all of the work he is doing. The Taoiseach spoke directly to the 378,000 people who are on prepay meters and told them that they would not be cut off, but then the Minister's party colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Joe O'Brien, appearing on a television programme at the weekend, told people that...

National Tourism Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (18 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute on the Bill. I commend the work of Fáilte Ireland, but I want to say to the Members from rural Ireland, some of whom spoke before me, that I am not certain of the benefit of a ramble around their own county, listing bed and breakfast accommodation, because I do not know how many international tourists tune in here to get their travel...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Workers in the security industry have not had a pay rise since 2019. In August, and for the second time, a small number of employers in the industry have secured an injunction against the employment regulation order, ERO. Can the Taoiseach confirm that this ERO will be challenged by the Government? Can he also give us an indication as to when these workers are going to receive the pay rise...
