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

Louise O'Reilly: I am thankful for the opportunity to speak on this important motion. There are many people watching this evening whose houses have been affected by the mica scandal and I pledge to them my solidarity and that of Sinn Féin. Also watching will be people from north County Dublin whose houses have been affected by pyrite or whose apartments have been affected by defects. I reassure them...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Companies (Small Company Administrative Rescue Process) Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (15 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Minister of State for attending and facilitating this discussion. I was not expecting him this morning so while he is here, I remind him that we are still waiting on the heads of the Bill for the Workplace Relations Commission, WRC. If he could get that to us as soon as possible, it would be much appreciated. I do not like to be in the position of waiving pre-legislative...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Companies (Small Company Administrative Rescue Process) Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (15 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: That would involve both the co-operation and the staff being available at that point. Clearly, it will cost more then if they are not available. I am trying to get an understanding of what is involved. I expect that the figure of €20,000 to €50,000 would involve the staff being available and additional staff not having to be hired? I suppose the hope is that is what would...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Companies (Small Company Administrative Rescue Process) Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (15 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Ms Keane very much for the clarification. I also thank the Minister of State. I would like to see something a bit stronger in the Bill in terms of the protections for workers because I sometimes think the focus can go off the people who will be impacted. It is not just the people who own and run the business. We will have an opportunity to discuss that further. Will there be a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Companies (Small Company Administrative Rescue Process) Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (15 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I still think a centrally accessible register might streamline the process a little and make it easier, given the purpose of the Bill. I ask the Minister of State to have a look at that. Under head 34, could I assume that reference will be made to virtual meetings given that they are becoming a feature of life that will be with us post pandemic?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Companies (Small Company Administrative Rescue Process) Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (15 Jun 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Companies (Small Company Administrative Rescue Process) Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (15 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: Could Ms Keane explain to me about head 42, subsections (4) and (5), which concern consideration by members and creditors of proposals? What is the difference in how proposals are accepted under this process and the normal process? Will this perhaps lead to a deluge of objections or does she reckon it will go smoothly enough? Under the same head, in subsection (7) there is an indication...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Companies (Small Company Administrative Rescue Process) Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (15 Jun 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Companies (Small Company Administrative Rescue Process) Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (15 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Minister of State. I have one more question which relates to head 48, the provision with respect to leases. Most of the businesses I have spoken to in the last 18 months will say that what is driving them into debt is a lack of forbearance by commercial landlords, and “forbearance” is a word I hope we will consign to the dustbin of history post-Covid because,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Companies (Small Company Administrative Rescue Process) Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (15 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: It might be helpful if, following the discussion with the Office of the Attorney General, the Department would provide us with more detailed information. Just to use belt, braces and baler twine, when Ms Keane refers to contracts, she is referring to service contracts with outside agencies, not from within the company.
