Europol Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Oct 2012)

Áine Collins: I am very happy to speak on this Bill. Europol has been in existence since 1995 and over the years has done very valuable work in tackling cross-Border crime. Until now its existence was based on an EU convention which has been subject to many amendments and subsequent protocols that in turn were subject to lengthy ratification procedures by member states. As a result, it was decided to...

Áine Collins: Mr. Murphy referred to potential. It is a big word with a capital "P" in terms of exports and Enterprise Ireland. Where the new LEOs are concerned, though, must new companies requesting support need to have export potential?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Micro-Enterprise and Small Business Unit: Discussion with EI, ISME and SFA (23 Oct 2012)

Áine Collins: I thank the two witnesses for attending and for their frankness. It is disappointing that people who represent these bodies are not on the implementation body.

I do not know at what stage in the cycle we are in terms of when the implementation body will...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Micro-Enterprise and Small Business Unit: Discussion with EI, ISME and SFA (23 Oct 2012)

Áine Collins: I want to make a point on where the new LEOs will be in regard to the county councils. I do not care so much where they are to be situated as long as they are doing a good job. We have to be fair. I sat on this committee during the last 12 months when the CEB representatives came in. We engaged with them over the fact that they were not delivering. Their budget was €23 million,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Workplace Relations Service: Discussion with Employment Appeals Tribunal (6 Nov 2012)

Áine Collins: Deputy Calleary made a comment about the SME sector and the legislation in place in terms of employers trying to employ people. The same legislation applies to large companies. I appreciate that we all want to be fair to employees but the legislation in this area can be cumbersome. Those in that sector do not have the facilities to manage the process properly. I know that is not the remit...

Credit Union Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (13 Nov 2012)

Áine Collins: Recently available statistics show clearly that citizens and communities trust their credit union.
