Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Development of Indigenous Irish Enterprise: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)

Paul Murphy: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. My questions are mostly for Mr. Clancy. Ambition 4, as set out in the opening statement and the Enterprise Ireland, EI, strategy, is "Irish enterprises leading globally on sustainability and achieving climate action targets", which is mainly measured in terms of the climate action plan target of a 29% to 41% reduction in emissions from the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Development of Indigenous Irish Enterprise: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)

Paul Murphy: Transporting goods, at present, uses considerable fossil fuels and it is one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonise, according to the OECD's international transport forum. It predicts that trade-related freight and transport emissions will rise fourfold by 2050 which, again, goes contrary to the whole world's goal. I see what Mr. Clancy is saying about how people in northern Europe...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Development of Indigenous Irish Enterprise: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)

Paul Murphy: However, Mr. Clancy is saying when Enterprise Ireland looks at the carbon footprint of companies, it takes into account the impact of freight, be it sea, air or whatever.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Development of Indigenous Irish Enterprise: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Development of Indigenous Irish Enterprise: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)

Paul Murphy: I thank Mr. Clancy.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Development of Indigenous Irish Enterprise: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)

Paul Murphy: I do not expect Mr. Clancy to have the figures here, but does he have them in the office? Are the figures collected by Enterprise Ireland? Surely, these things should factor into funding and grant decisions. If Enterprise Ireland is serious about ambition 4, surely, it should take into account how goods are exported and whether that is something in which it wants to promote and invest.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Social Partnership Meetings (15 Feb 2022)

Paul Murphy: I wish to raise with the Taoiseach the treatment by Tesco of its retail security officers. These are essential workers who helped to keep our supermarkets open during Covid-19. Their work became a lot more stressful and difficult during that period. They are in their third year without a pay rise. Last week, instead of Tesco contacting them to offer them the pay rise they deserve after...

National Minimum Wage (Equal Pay for Young Workers) Bill 2022: First Stage (15 Feb 2022)
