Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Second Stage (17 Nov 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I take this opportunity to bring to the Minister's attention, as others have, a matter arising relating to the Land Registry. This is where a mistake has been made with what is registered with the Land Registry compared with what is contained in the deeds of the original contract for a home. If everybody complies, the process is quick, smooth, efficient and relatively painless, without much...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (17 Nov 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for selecting this issue and the Minister for being here to discuss it with me. I want to say at the outset that I am 100% aware of her role in the allocation of resources. I know what she can and cannot do. What I am asking her this morning is to give consideration to the needs of the people I represent in Swords and the surrounding area, specifically in...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (17 Nov 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I join the Minister in commending the work of An Garda Síochána throughout Covid, in Swords and across the State. She is bang on; its members did a fantastic job. I want to return to the issue. There is a difference, and Minister and I both know this, between being safe and feeling safe. I do not want anyone to panic but people do not feel safe and that is a concern to me,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of the Withdrawal of Covid-19 Measures on Business: Discussion (17 Nov 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank our guests. I apologise for missing the first half hour or so of the meeting. I was addressing a Topical Issue matter in the Dáil Chamber. I have read the submissions and I am catching up now. I will ask Mr. Hughes a question about a story that was carried in the The Business Postover the weekend. It relates somewhat to the point Mr. McDonnell was making when he referred to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of the Withdrawal of Covid-19 Measures on Business: Discussion (17 Nov 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: Notes would be taken at those meetings. I take it that would be the norm. I have to say I find it quite disturbing that a junior or senior Minister would accede to requests from big companies not to take notes at meetings. The article in the newspaper specifically referenced that the purpose was to avoid freedom of information requests. I cannot think of any other reason, to be fair, a...

Louise O'Reilly: I am conscious that my time is tight, but I want to ask Mr. McDonnell to give us an estimation of how remote working is working for the people he represents. How is blended working working out? Has he noticed a benefit in the smaller towns where people do not have to come into the city centre? Where one is losing, is one picking up? Have his members spoken to him about the potential...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of the Withdrawal of Covid-19 Measures on Business: Discussion (17 Nov 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I have a final question. Mr. McDonnell meets regularly with Ministers and Ministers of State. When he is meeting with them, does he routinely or otherwise request that no notes be taken? Would he be happy that notes are taken? Does he understand that the taking of notes is the norm? Certainly, in my previous role whenever I met with Ministers we always understood that notes would be...

Louise O'Reilly: I had missed that Mr. McDonnell is not well. I wish him a quick recovery. I join with others in saying he is doing the right thing and leading by example. As the adverts on the radio and television say, I thank him for not leaving the house today. My question relates to the global corporation tax changes the Government has signed up to. This is a reversal of the previous industrial...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of the Withdrawal of Covid-19 Measures on Business: Discussion (17 Nov 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Mr. Hughes. I have one question for Mr. McDonnell. As we know, the IDA has rolled out a welcome mat for Amazon. What I hear about Amazon is the undermining of local businesses, bogus self-employment and mistreatment of workers, and these are things associated with these types of companies. Does Mr. McDonnell think the IDA should be rolling out the welcome mat for these companies?...
