Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of Companies (Corporate Enforcement Authority) Bill 2018 (Resumed): Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (29 Jan 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I have only a few minutes left. Does the Tánaiste see that power applying to civilians under the auspices of the ODCE, the new agency, as well? I ask because it is not just the experts CAB and the CCPC have, like gardaí, they also have trained experts who come in, such as forensic accountants, etc. Does the Tánaiste see that power extending beyond the gardaí to the...
