- Companies (Corporate Governance, Enforcement and Regulatory Provisions) Bill 2024: Second Stage (25 Sep 2024)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk about this proposed Bill. I have taken enough guff taken from people inside this Chamber condemning people who employ people.

It is not appropriate to apply it to anyone in this House or indeed outside of this House. I would be grateful if Deputy Michael Healy-Rae reflects on his use of that terminology.
