- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Credit Union (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (18 Oct 2023)
Pearse Doherty: The legislation does contain other provisions that stipulate it must be in writing. Again, it is valuable information members have. Not a lot of members will look at it but some members cherish that information and knowing what the shares and profits are. I have made my point so I will leave it at that. I think it is worth considering whether we should state a credit union should seek...

Pearse Doherty: If no consent is given, that is, somebody does not respond, and many people would probably be happy with electronic communication, or they think "I'll do that next week", they will have to get it the same way as in the past.

Pearse Doherty: That is different. Basically the member who is getting the communication by paper may not get the communication by paper in the future but it would be up to the member to actively look for it again.
- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Credit Union (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (18 Oct 2023)
Pearse Doherty: So for notice of AGMs, extraordinary AGMs or annual accounts, a credit union will have to provide that on paper to members forever and a day unless they consent not to receive it on paper. Is that what the legislation will say?

Pearse Doherty: I thank the officials from the Department for all the work they have put into this. When we saw the list of amendments we said, "Oh God". In some cases, whole pages were deleted and there were multiple amendments. When we are amending legislation that is amending original legislation, it is a challenge. It shows the work that has continued since the publication of the original Bill and...

Pearse Doherty: For the record, we are eager to get this legislation across the line, so it will not take much time in terms of Report Stage as soon as the amendments are drafted, if that is of benefit to scheduling purposes.

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (17 Oct 2023)
Pearse Doherty: Can I get clarification from the Leas-Cheann Comhairle as the Chair here today? The issue is that nearly 100 health professionals have written to the Minister - I am not going to go into it. Therefore, it is really important that the Minister himself is present. We have a right to ask for a deferral until he is here.
