Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Reactivation of Economy Following Pandemic Restrictions: Discussion (16 Jun 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Reactivation of Economy Following Pandemic Restrictions: Discussion (16 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I am not. I am saying that all the available evidence suggests that when the economy reopens - Mr. McDonnell has referred specifically to four sectors not yet fully reopened - people will go back to work. What I am providing for him is information from another person in the business field who says the best way to attract workers is to pay them well and to give them decent conditions. I do...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Reactivation of Economy Following Pandemic Restrictions: Discussion (16 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I want to give Dr. Bambrick an opportunity to respond.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Reactivation of Economy Following Pandemic Restrictions: Discussion (16 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Dr. Bambrick. SMEs have warehoused about €1 billion in debt, a very scary figure, although much of it relates to the advance credit for trading expenses and so on. My fear, and I am interested in hearing Mr. McDonnell's view on this, is that much of the debt relates to rent. There are viable, good, decent businesses that could restart, but the issue with them relates not so...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Reactivation of Economy Following Pandemic Restrictions: Discussion (16 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I had to step out to make a small contribution in the Dáil Chamber so if I am asking a question that has already been asked, the Chairman may stop me and I will listen to the response on the video afterwards. I apologise for having had to step out. It was an unavoidable absence. In respect of financial supports available, in his opening statement Mr. McDonnell mentioned that credit is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Reactivation of Economy Following Pandemic Restrictions: Discussion (16 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I want to reserve a small portion of my time to have a brief conversation with Mr. Berney on aviation. I had a conversation with Mr. McDonnell earlier on the pandemic unemployment payment, PUP, workers and workers' rights. I note he referred in his submission to two pieces of legislation, one of which I brought forward concerning domestic violence leave, and both of which are small...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Reactivation of Economy Following Pandemic Restrictions: Discussion (16 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I do not believe that is the case. I will give Mr. McDonnell the opportunity to correct his point. Comparing miscarriage and domestic violence to a car crash is really not appropriate. I do not believe it was Mr. McDonnell's intention to make that comparison. It is highly inappropriate. He can correct his statement if he wishes. Those two comparisons are not correct or right. I wish to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Reactivation of Economy Following Pandemic Restrictions: Discussion (16 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: One of the pieces of legislation to which Dr. Bambrick referred is legislation I and an Teachta McDonald have written. It is our intention to progress it and to use every opportunity we have. We believe it is genuinely important legislation. If there is time, I wish to address Mr. Berney on the issue of aviation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Reactivation of Economy Following Pandemic Restrictions: Discussion (16 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I was concerned to hear from some of the trade unions representing workers in the aviation sector that they fear jobs will be lost if a substantial package is not put in place to support the aviation sector. Does Mr. Berney sense that is the case? I ask him to provide an estimate on it. If I had more time, I would raise the issue of connectivity, but I do not.

Pyrite and Mica Redress Issues: Motion [Private Members] (15 Jun 2021)
