Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Enterprise Support Schemes (18 Oct 2018)

Jan O'Sullivan: We have had a number of debates about the huge increase in online shopping by Irish consumers. My question is about the extra supports available to Irish businesses to trade online.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Enterprise Support Schemes (18 Oct 2018)

Jan O'Sullivan: There are about 282,000 people in Ireland working in the retail sector in all villages, towns and cities. It is a hugely important sector in the creation of employment.

Jan O'Sullivan: It makes me proud to listen to Deputy Chambers because what she has just said, as a young woman, represents where we have come to in Ireland.

Deputy Tóibín spoke...

Financial Resolutions 2019 - Financial Resolution No. 4: General (Resumed) (10 Oct 2018)

Jan O'Sullivan: I would like to share time with Deputy Sean Sherlock. There was a lot of fanfare claiming that this was going to be a housing budget but it was not.
