Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Joint Sub-Committee on Global Corporate Taxation: Base Erosion and Profit Sharing: Discussion with Trinity College (17 Sep 2013)

Professor Frank Barry: I throw that quote in there to make the point that it is the foundation stone of why we are so attractive to foreign direct investment. The entire infrastructure that makes us very successful at drawing in foreign industry has been built on that foundation. Initially, export profits tax relief was conceived as an incentive to indigenous firms to export. I was...

Criminal Law (Child Grooming) Bill 2014: Second Stage [Private Members] (10 Jul 2015)

Sandra McLellan: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this Bill and thank Deputy Corcoran Kennedy for bringing it before the House and allowing this discussion to take place. The Government's delay in making progress on the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill is unacceptable. Both Houses of the Oireachtas have for a number of years been debating Private Members' Bills such as this one only to be told by...

Government Appeal of European Commission Decision on State Aid to Apple: Motion (7 Sep 2016) See 1 other result from this debate

Mick Wallace: Many people in Ireland would be of the opinion that this place here - the bubble that is Leinster House - is a bit disconnected from the real world. No two recent issues emphasise that as much as the Apple tax issue and the NAMA scandal. Richard Murphy, a professor of practice in international political economy in City University in London also happens to be a director of the Tax Justice...

Corporate Tax Policy: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (7 Oct 2015)

Maureen O'Sullivan: Gabhaim m'aitheantas agus mo bhuíochas leis na Teachtaí Dála a ghlac páirt sa díospóireacht. Agus an buiséad ag teacht agus leis an tuarascáil a fhoilsíodh ar an Luan, is rud dearfach é go raibh an díospóireacht seo againn anocht agus aréir. I acknowledge the work of NGOs like Christian Aid, Trócaire, Oxfam, the Debt...

Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (20 May 2009)

Brendan Kenneally: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Bill. Every effort must be made to tighten up the criminal justice system and tip the scales in favour of the law abiding citizen, who is increasingly fearful of walking down a main street in Ireland at present for fear of being caught in the crossfire between rival gangs or as an innocent bystander at the occurrence of a criminal activity. This is...

Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (26 Jun 2008)

John O'Mahony: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for the opportunity to contribute to the debate on the Bill, which attempts to address a major problem in society that is at crisis point throughout the length and breadth of the country. I also see the Bill as an opportunity. In recent months, I have spoken to young people — I am a parent myself — as well as gardaí, publicans and off-licence holders. All...

Universal Jurisdiction of Human Rights Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 Mar 2017) See 1 other result from this debate

David Cullinane: I welcome the Minister of State. Sinn Féin welcomes the opportunity to speak on this Bill and we commend Deputy Mick Wallace for bringing it forward. We will of course be supporting it. This Bill, if passed, would enable the charging and conviction of persons who breach international human rights law in cases of genocide, war crimes, torture and crimes against humanity, whether these...

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) Bill 2002: Second Stage [Resumed]. (27 Jan 2005)

John Minihan: I welcome the Minister to the House to put through this important legislation. Events such as 11 September 2001 and the Madrid bombings left us all shocked and saddened as the full horror of a major terrorist act sank in. With the advent of global media coverage of events as they unfold, the terrorist market has widened. Not only can an atrocity now affect the terrorists' target, their...

Child Sex Offenders (Information And Monitoring) Bill 2012: Second Stage [Private Members] (11 Oct 2013)

Denis Naughten: I thank all Members who contributed to the debate and I thank the Minister of State for his responses. I know everyone is genuinely interested in this and anxious that the loopholes in the existing sex offenders register are closed off so that for the first time in Irish statute we can give a legal right to parents to access relevant and appropriate information. There seems to be some...

Sex Offenders (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Nov 2021)

Denis Naughten: I welcome the publication of this legislation and the fact we are debating it here at long last. It is 13 years since the then Government committed to bringing in this Bill. The Minister's predecessor, Mr. Dermot Ahern, told me in reply to a parliamentary question on 22 April 2009 that unless we reformed the notification process here in this country in tandem with what had been done in the...

Financial Resolutions 2018 - Budget Statement 2018 (10 Oct 2017) See 1 other result from this debate

Paul Murphy: How to describe this budget? "Band-Aid budget" most correctly sums it up. Ten years of crisis and Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Labour Party austerity created gaping wounds in our society. Between them, they removed more than €100 billion in terms of cuts to public services and extra, unjust taxes. Those measures created insecurity, homelessness and poverty. Now the Government...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Social Dimension of Economic and Monetary Union: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Nov 2013)

Dr. Seán Healy: Social Justice Ireland welcomes the opportunity to address the committee on the social dimension of EMU, which is crucial to the future of the EU and whether it can survive. Most people would be positive about its survival but, as noted earlier, there is a growing and strengthening resistance to much of what is going on. I will step back and take a longer view to put this...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Appointment of Special Envoys and Update on Afghanistan: Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence (31 Aug 2021)

Simon Coveney: I have been asked to give opening comments on both issues and then take questions in two different segments, first with regard to the special envoy process and then on Afghanistan. If members will bear with me, I will make an opening statement on both. I will not then make any more formal statements and will focus on answering members' questions as best I can. I thank the Chairman and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Irish Aid Programme Review: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Nov 2017)

Professor Patrick P. Walsh: I thank the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence for the opportunity to discuss Irish Aid. The invitation to someone from a university is very much appreciated. I wish to discuss the role of universities in the Irish Aid programme and development work in Africa. However, I will describe first some context concerning where I am coming from...

Criminal Law (Incest) (Amendment) Bill 2012: Second Stage [Private Members] (7 Mar 2014)

Denis Naughten: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." Five years ago, Roscommon Circuit Court heard the shocking details surrounding the sustained abuse and neglect of six children in one family. At the time, the late Judge Miriam Reynolds questioned how the situation could have gone on for so long given that the children were in school and also given the family's involvement with the health...
