Eoin Hayes: I thank the Minister for coming in. I welcome him back. I thank all of his officials for being here as well.

I really welcome the clustering strategy. It...

Select Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 32 - Enterprise, Tourism and Employment (Revised) (9 Jul 2025)

Eoin Hayes: Yes, I have just two minutes. My apologies, it is €5 million. I am concerned we are not putting sufficient resources into the indigenous economy and are not sufficiently focusing on it. The temporary partial guarantee scheme has been halved from €15 million to €7 million and the science and technology development programme capital allocation is down. I wish to get a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority: Engagement with Chairperson (9 Jul 2025)

Eoin Hayes: I thank Ms Kennedy and Mr. Prendergast for attending today. I really appreciate their time. I know it takes some time to even prepare for these sessions so I appreciate them doing that. I am also delighted to have people who are numerate before the committee. It is unusual that I am in a place where I am talking to witnesses who have such extensive numerary qualifications. I want to take...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority: Engagement with Chairperson (9 Jul 2025)

Eoin Hayes: I am new to understanding the regulatory area more generally, so I ask the witnesses to forgive me. I spent 15 years in the private sector, but mostly abroad. When they talk about the professional bodies regulating a lot of these members, what is the legal status of those professional bodies? Are they privately incorporated as separate legal entities? Are they public agencies? How do...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority: Engagement with Chairperson (9 Jul 2025)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority: Engagement with Chairperson (9 Jul 2025)

Eoin Hayes: I am talking in terms of the strike-offs Deputy Clendennen spoke about. The witnesses said they had some direct oversight of the private interest entities, but otherwise the professional accounting bodies are responsible for censuring their members in the case of malpractice.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority: Engagement with Chairperson (9 Jul 2025)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority: Engagement with Chairperson (9 Jul 2025)

Eoin Hayes: It strikes me as a self-running guild in some ways. That can have its own advantages. That is not to say it is necessarily wrong. It is just to say that for somebody who has worked in the US for a long time, it seems unusual in terms of how you would think about regulation and a regulatory environment more generally with regard to standards for a professional organisation and professions....

Committee on European Union Affairs: Findings of the 2025 European Movement Ireland EU Poll: European Movement Ireland (9 Jul 2025)

Eoin Hayes: I thank both witnesses for coming in, and for preparing and giving us these valuable insights. The only polls that actually matter, as we say on this side of the table at least, are elections and referendums. As we go towards those kinds of political touchpoints with people, what I have heard indicates there is a lot of work to do. As was noted, it is the lowest level of support for the EU...
