Topical Issue Debate: Live Exports (13 Nov 2013)

Timmy Dooley: I hope that the Minister of State is right, but I believe differently. The failure of this company underlines a significant weakness in protections for people who take the risk. It is interesting that the bank concerned is Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, HSBC. It does not appear that TLT International was able to get a relevant supply of credit from our domestic pillar...

Timmy Dooley: As a follow-on from the question from Deputy Healy-Rae about legislation on communications and broadcasting, is it not the case that the Government intends to abolish the television licence and replace it with a mechanism whereby individual houses or units will be charged a broadcasting or transmission fee?

Report of the Joint Committee on Transport and Communications: Motion (8 Nov 2013)
