Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Challenges Facing the Technology Sector: Discussion (23 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Ms Fitzpatrick. It is just over 12 months since the former Minister of State, Deputy Troy, granted confidentiality to big tech companies before a meeting to discuss the Commission's Digital Markets Act, which as we know seeks to rein in big tech companies that have created monopolies in the digital space, as well as the Digital Service Act, which we hope will create a safer digital...

Personal Injuries Resolution Board Bill 2022: Second Stage (5 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: ...my thanks to all those who have worked and continue to work on it. I echo the sentiment expressed by the Minister of State, Deputy Calleary, in respect of the former Minister of State, Deputy Troy. I know that a very significant amount of engagement went into the production of this Bill. On behalf of my party, I offer our qualified support for the legislation, which will not surprise...

Consumer Rights Bill 2022: Second Stage (11 May 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: ...additional resources, both human and financial, for the CCPC. As with the competition Bill, the Consumer Rights Bill transposes EU legislation into Irish law. The Minister of State, Deputy Troy, previously remarked that this Bill is one of the biggest overhauls of consumer law in the State in decades. I wholeheartedly agree with him, and anyone who has familiarised themselves with...

Flexible and Remote Work: Motion [Private Members] (9 Mar 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: ...well remotely. They want that experience to inform the legislation, which it clearly does not. Nobody is going to stand in here and say the legislation is perfect or indeed adequate. Deputy Troy was very quick to emphasise that it is a draft at the moment, and of course it is. The word "draft" was used over and over again following the reaction of not only workers but also their...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Strategy, Targets, Achievements and Future Progress: IDA Ireland (26 Jan 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: ...point. I thank Mr. Shanahan. My next question is on a not-dissimilar theme. We all read the stories, particularly in the Business Postbut also elsewhere, regarding the Minister of State, Deputy Troy's meeting, and granting of confidentiality to big tech companies in advance of the meeting, to discuss the European Commission's Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act. The Business...

Companies (Rescue Process for Small and Micro Companies) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (7 Jul 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: ...Enterprise, Trade and Employment and the Minister of State, Deputy English, indicated the process may not be quicker than the current administration process. I note the Minister of State, Deputy Troy, said in some instances it would be but in others it would not. That is disappointing. I know from talking to the representatives of business and industry that they will be disappointed...

Companies (Rescue Process for Small and Micro Companies) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (7 Jul 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: ...of Sudocrem, a very iconic brand, which we now know is destined to leave these shores. Notwithstanding that, it might be that this is covered by the use of the word "brand" and perhaps the Minister of State, Deputy Troy, will be able to advise me in that regard, but many classic Irish brands are not just a brand; they have a cultural and social significance. I want to hear the Minister...

Companies (Protection of Employees' Rights in Liquidations) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (12 May 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: ...is now because no one seems interested in implementing any of its findings. The workers were assured that some action would be taken. They were given social welfare. As the Minister of State, Deputy Troy, outlined, they will have all their minimum entitlements, but they get those under the law in any event. That is all they got. There are nice words. A dictionary full of nice words...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Budget 2021 Support Measures for Enterprise: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (21 Oct 2020)

Louise O'Reilly: .... How much will be left to convert for the provision of staff? Some of that €4 million will go towards pay restoration. Can Mr. Hughes give me a breakdown on that? The Minister of State, Deputy Troy, in a press conference, was adamant that it would all be for new staff. That parliamentary reply indicated that it will not all be to provide for new staff and that some of it will...

Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages (30 Jul 2020)

Louise O'Reilly: ...but then somehow allow it to happen again. While I have the floor, I want to say a word of thanks to all of the civil servants who have worked on this legislation. I ask the Minister of State, Deputy Troy, whether he would like to associate with or disassociate from the remarks made by his party colleague, Deputy MacSharry, that implied that during the lockdown civil and public...

Employment Rights: Motion [Private Members] (15 Jul 2020)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Social Democrats for bringing forward this important motion. It is a very broad motion but it has sparked a very necessary conversation. When the Fianna Fáil Minister of State, Deputy Troy, took us through the greatest hits of the minimum wage, he left out a very important part, which is that the last time Fianna Fáil and the Green Party were in government together,...
