Consumer Protection (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (21 Jun 2018)

Maurice Quinlivan: I commend Deputy Niall Collins for bringing forward this Private Members' Bill. The Bill aims to address an issue that causes frustration for many people dealing with gift vouchers.

Other consumers are affected when the value of their voucher is run down through fees and...

Maurice Quinlivan: I have a few other questions. The first relates to the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, ODCE. I assume the witnesses have seen the report authored by the Director of Corporate Enforcement on the failings in the Seán FitzPatrick case. How often does the director or staff from the ODCE meet the Department or the witnesses? My second question is on Brexit. It is a...

I am not telling her what to say but I was concerned that these actions were not taken by the ODCE but were brought about...

It flagged to us that it would not be able to do it again and would not be checking again. We had a concern about that because the resources expended meant it would not be able to do it again.
