Companies (Accounting) Bill 2016 - Second Stage: Second Stage (Resumed) (15 Nov 2016)

Maurice Quinlivan: This is a complicated and detailed Bill and I want to be correct in what I say. We will also table an amendment on this section as we do not believe it is in the public interest. Indeed we should be moving to a situation where we have legislation requiring more or fuller disclosures, not fewer. Sinn Féin does, however, welcome the introduction of a new category in the legislation, the...

Other Questions: Low Pay Commission Report (3 Nov 2016)

Maurice Quinlivan: The signing of the order last week is very welcome. I am aware of the two reports from the Low Pay Commission but my question was addressed to the Minister or Minister of State. The commission is an advisory body so the Minister is not bound by the recommendations in the report. What measures will the Minister of State take to address the issues I raised?

Other Questions: Low Pay Commission Report (3 Nov 2016)

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Minister of State for his answer and I look forward to getting the report next week or the week after. My main concern is that the Low Pay Commission is an advisory body and it is the Minister who has to take action to deal with the two issues. That is what I would like the Minister of State to come back to me on.

Other Questions: Trade Agreements (3 Nov 2016)
