Select Committee on Social Protection: Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill 2024: Committee Stage (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It can be done. There is always a resistance but I do not believe in the ultimate free market against the common good.

I find it difficult, therefore, that there is this idea of absolutism here. The Minister said the principles of ESG are built into the proposed legislation. Obviously, however, this is built into section 74(2)(b), where we have this word,...
