Dara Calleary: I join the Minister of State, Deputy Sherlock, in paying tribute to everyone who has been involved in this work of 12 or 14 years. I pay tribute to all who have served on the Company Law Review Group and all the officials involved. In recent months in particular they have been remarkably helpful with briefings.

Companies Bill 2012: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (2 Apr 2014)

Dara Calleary: In the context of the relevant section, where lies the proposed review of the term "accountant" and the protections that are necessary in that regard? This matter was raised on Committee Stage and the Minister, Deputy Bruton, undertook to instigate a review. The section to which amendment No. 266 relates would probably be the most suitable in the context of clarifying the matter.

Companies Bill 2012: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (2 Apr 2014)

Dara Calleary: We did not table an amendment because the Minister committed to undertake a review. When we met him after Committee Stage, he stated that the entire issue would be reviewed and that he would consult the relevant bodies. As far as I recall, the various political parties were represented at that meeting which took place last November. We did not table an amendment for Report Stage but we...

Dara Calleary: In the context of amendment No. 266, we are discussing "Regulations made under section 3(3) of the Act of 1990 prescribing, for the purposes of the definition of ‘alternative body of accounting standards’". We are, therefore, dealing here with accounting standards.

Companies Bill 2012: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (2 Apr 2014)

Dara Calleary: It would be appropriate for it to be concluded in advance of the Seanad's deliberations on the legislation. If it is not, then we will have no option but to table an amendment. There is a lacuna in that the term is not protected. Chartered Accountants Ireland recently submitted some important evidence in respect of this matter. It would only be fair if the review was completed before the...

Companies Bill 2012: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 Apr 2014)

Dara Calleary: I move amendment No. 182:In page 630, between lines 4 and 5, to insert the following:“798. The Minister shall, within three months of the enactment of this Act, publish a report on the adequacy of the resources available to—(a) the Companies Registration Office, and (b) the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement,and such report shall detail the areas in which resources...

Companies Bill 2012: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 Apr 2014)

Dara Calleary: The Department has many priority needs. This revision is a project that has been in operation for 12 or 14 years. An enormous amount of work has gone into it. It is too much to expect businesses suddenly to introduce all the changes that will come upon them once the Seanad passes this Bill. The Department's agencies are struggling to do their job and are stretched as it is. If we are...

Dara Calleary: You should observe them yourself.

Confidence in the Minister for Justice and Equality; and Defence: Motion [Private Members] (1 Apr 2014)

Dara Calleary: What has happened since is that control of the Department of Justice and Equality has been taken from him. The Minister is like a learner driver - he is at the steering wheel but somebody else is in control. That is another reason that every Deputy intent on voting confidence in him tomorrow evening should be wary of doing so because he or she will be voting confidence in a Minister who is...

Confidence in the Minister for Justice and Equality; and Defence: Motion [Private Members] (1 Apr 2014)

Dara Calleary: I thank Deputy Niall Collins for tabling this motion. It is extraordinary to think that a week ago a Garda Commissioner left office or was pushed out of office yet no opportunity was given to debate it. Were it not for the opportunity presented to us by the tabling of this motion we would not have a chance to do that. It is evident from the heckles that the press office has supplied the...
