Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement: Statements (25 May 2017)

Maurice Quinlivan: From listening to the discussion it is clear that white collar crime is not taken seriously in this country. It was said people are outraged. I do not think they are outraged; I think they are not surprised at what happened in this court case because they did not expect any other outcome. Working class people in particular did not expect anyone to be prosecuted for what happened. I...

Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement: Statements (25 May 2017)

Maurice Quinlivan: I am sharing time with Deputy Pearse Doherty. I welcome this opportunity to speak on the role of the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement and on the shambles of the court case that has just concluded. In relation to the Seán FitzPatrick case, it is clear that the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement categorically failed in its mission to encourage adherence to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Banded Hours Contract Bill 2016: Discussion (Resumed) (23 May 2017)

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the witnesses for their attendance and the presentation. I appreciate it. I also found the report they produced very useful when researching the problem in this area. The report states that zero-hour contracts are unusually prevalent and widely used. However, if-and-when contracts obviously are too and there is an urgent need to address this. That is what the Bill is intended to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Banded Hours Contract Bill 2016: Discussion (Resumed) (23 May 2017)

Maurice Quinlivan: I agree with the comments made by the Chairman. Everybody involved in the committee who has listened to the delegates recognises that there is a massive problem with if-and-when and low-hour contracts. I thank Deputy David Cullinane for his Bill which is very progressive. He has come back to what he said on the first day that he was open to amendments. A number of issues were raised by...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Banded Hours Contract Bill 2016: Discussion (Resumed) (23 May 2017)

Maurice Quinlivan: I come back to a comment the Minister of State made about the additional hours. He said:... all workers in every sector of the economy be given additional hours on request, unless the employer can prove severe financial difficulties. [My problem is with the next bit.] Under this Bill, employees could keep asking for more hours every six months. That is not stated in Deputy Cullinane's...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Banded Hours Contract Bill 2016: Discussion (Resumed) (23 May 2017)

Maurice Quinlivan: I am obviously disappointed that the Minister of State is introducing his own Bill and has decided not to go with Deputy Cullinane's Bill. Deputy Cullinane's Bill stipulates seven bands of hours whereas the Government Bill has four bands. We had extensive consultation with many witnesses. Not one of them raised that as an issue or a problem, changing from seven bands to a lower number...
