- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Tackling the Black Market and Retail Crime Report: Discussion (15 Nov 2012)
Mary White: The delegates are welcome. It is frightening to listen to this information and to read about it. A Minister must take this issue by the scruff of the neck and deal with it. The country is physically so small that it should not be impossible to deal with the problem if the right approach is taken. I refer to the report we received from the Oireachtas Library. The United States does quite...

Mary White: We might consider the great work done by the Criminal Assets Bureau. As this is not my area, I am not au fait with it, but from a distance I have admired the work of the CAB which appears to be the most professional investigation unit we have ever had in the State. The region about which I am concerned is the Border area, as well as the issue of paramilitaries. I do not have any...

Mary White: Ms Connie Doody and I set up Lir Chocolates in the late 1980s, following which I immediately joined the Dublin Chamber of Commerce. It was an incredibly fruitful network for me. The former chairman of Superquinn, Mr. Vincent O'Doherty, was also a member at that time, which meant if I had difficulties on the ground with Superquinn locally I was able to speak to him about them and have them...

Mary White: I thank our guests for attending and for their excellent presentation. When reading newspapers, I always find the comments by Chambers Ireland interesting. I appreciate those observations. I agree with our guests regarding the action plan for jobs. It is aspirational and the high-profile announcements are deflecting attention away from the facts that more than 400,000 people are on the...

Mary White: As Senator Quinn will concur, Government and Opposition parties in the Seanad agree on the issues of jobs, bank lending and the availability of money. We in Fianna Fáil were in office for most of the recession but we must stay on our toes and reduce the numbers unemployed. Unemployment is a scourge. There is a brain drain. I was disappointed to learn that county and city enterprise...
