Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (17 Oct 2017)

Maurice Quinlivan: It is a very important clarification because it was a good initiative. Unfortunately, in Limerick city, one of the biggest, most profitable companies in the country has kept a site vacant for a number of years and refuses to deal with anyone who wants to do anything with it, perhaps because it is worried about competition. Something needs to be done about this. I think the council itself...

Financial Resolutions 2018 - Financial Resolution No. 4: General (Resumed) (12 Oct 2017)

Maurice Quinlivan: Deputy Cullinane began by saying that sometimes this Chamber is like "Live at the Apollo". When I hear what some of the Ministers have said in recent days, it is sometimes like a parallel universe. They think that people think this budget was good and that there is a perception out there that it was good. It is not. Someone on €20,000 will probably have an extra euro in their...

Other Questions: Small and Medium Enterprises Supports (12 Oct 2017)

Maurice Quinlivan: The Leas-Cheann Comhairle will probably be interested in this question on co-operatives. I was disappointed that the Ceann Comhairle took out one line of the question we tabled, which referred to the Sinn Féin alternative budget. We were advised that it would be argumentative, which I find disappointing. I wanted to reference that in what I planned saying. Will the Minister consider...

Other Questions: Small and Medium Enterprises Supports (12 Oct 2017)

Maurice Quinlivan: Obviously, I am very disappointed at the Minister's response. I asked if she would establish a co-operative development unit and obviously she said she would not. I commend Senator Gavan on a policy he developed over the summer and launched last month on the issue of co-operatives which, if implemented, would make significant progress in delivering sustainable jobs in local communities. ...

Other Questions: Small and Medium Enterprises Supports (12 Oct 2017)

Maurice Quinlivan: I understand the supports they can access, but it does not answer the question. With Brexit approaching, it is more important than ever that we have a strong indigenous company base, especially considering how multinationals can be vulnerable to the tax base. Does the Minister agree that building that sector could have distinct advantages for the economy? I also want to raise the issue...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement Legal Cases (12 Oct 2017)

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Minister for her response. I appreciate the sensitivities that could be contained in the report but why has the work not yet been completed by the Office of the Attorney General? It seems that an incredibly long time has been taken. Will the Minister indicate how many months on average she would be waiting for advice from the Attorney General on a report? When is the...
