Louise O'Reilly: The costs to which the Minister refers are the rise in the minimum wage, additional sick leave and energy. The Minister just added auto-enrolment. I think that is the first I have heard that as part of it.

Louise O'Reilly: Regarding the damage caused last Thursday night in the rioting and looting, an awful lot of businesses lost what would have been one of their busiest days. I was in town on Thursday, and we know what happened then. On Friday, many businesses did not open or they went in to assess the level of damage. On Saturday, there was a huge difference in Dublin city centre. Numbers on the north side...

Louise O'Reilly: Regarding the €4 million allocated to IDA Ireland for marketing and advertising, does the Minister know what markets will be specifically targeted? Last week, we had a session regarding the score for FDI with Canada. It appeared to us that there was massive scope. Equally, Japan, India and China, where relatively small numbers of companies are supported by the IDA, could be good...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Nov 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Commissioner for his evidence. He referred in his remarks to what he called an "uncontrollable event". Is that just another way of saying you had lost control? If it is an uncontrollable event, it is, by definition, not under control. Therefore, control was lost in Dublin city. The question then is for how many hours control was lost in Dublin city on Thursday.

Louise O'Reilly: We appreciate that. I am not in any way suggesting that. We all saw individual members of An Garda Síochána. In fact, we saw them on their own in some instances. What I am suggesting is that the leadership had lost control. We could be all day arguing that and may never agree. I want to go through the timeline. The knife attack on the teacher and the three children was at...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Nov 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Did the Minister contact the Commissioner since? I understand from what he is saying is that he was responsible for something else and perhaps communicating with the Minister would not be part of that. Did she make contact with the Commissioner directly?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Nov 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I am not suggesting that it is and I apologise if that is what he took from it. What I am trying to establish is the exact time at which he and the Minister spoke directly to each other, either in person or over the phone. The Commissioner has mentioned that at some point after 1.30 p.m. he was in touch with members of the Department of Justice, but to my mind, this is something that...
