Ivana Bacik: ..., that it might be possible to create a scheme whereby the cost would be borne by device manufacturers, as it is by photocopier manufacturers, for example. Thus, manufacturers of devices, such as Apple, would be able to absorb any costs from a minimal levy scheme to ensure a private user exemption would be built in, thus allowing good law whereby people who deal fairly as consumers by...

Seanad: Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages (14 Feb 2017)

Ivana Bacik: ...in each section is also different. In section 22 it relates to a person who lacks capacity to consent. I do not take Senator McDowell's point on the drafting and the "or". It is like oranges, apples or pears. I think that is very clear in section 21(7). However, one should look at the difference between the person who lacks capacity to consent, who is being protected in section 21,...

Seanad: Order of Business (23 May 2013)

Ivana Bacik: ...the reports about the hearings in the US Senate. The Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, has robustly defended the Irish tax regime as transparent and has rejected the claim of any special deal with Apple, which is welcome.

Seanad: Youth Unemployment and Public Policy: Address by Professor Christopher Pissarides (Resumed) (8 Nov 2012)

Ivana Bacik: ...training during a recession. That is a point very well made and we need to emphasise it here. Regarding entrepreneurship, the professor mentioned the US as the powerhouse of organisations such as Apple and Google. In a recent blog he stated that this points to a difference between job-creation policies in Europe and those in the US. It is no coincidence that Ikea is a Swedish company...

Seanad: Order of Business (10 May 2012)

Ivana Bacik: ...in this regard. We see the results of that in the numbers of job creation announcements in recent months, particularly through foreign direct investment, including from companies like SAP, PayPal, Apple and so on. The Senator also called for a debate on mental health, to be attended by the Minister for Health, Deputy James Reilly. We all welcome the achievement of the Minister of State,...

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Apr 2012)

Ivana Bacik: ...that the treaty is passed for job retention and creation. Large numbers of jobs have been created through foreign direct investment, as she pointed out, including 1,000 jobs in PayPal, 500 in Apple Computers, 500 in Eli Lilly in Cork and 500 in Mylan in north Dublin. There was a $130 million investment by Microsoft, 280 jobs were created in Galway and Kildare by HP and 175 jobs were...

Seanad: Climate Change Response Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed) (19 Jan 2011)

Ivana Bacik: ...providing an analysis. It is both coherent and detailed and ultimately shows that the targets set are no greater than those set by the European Union, but that comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges because different measures are used. The real controversy has been about the targets set for 2020. The Minister of State needs to nail this. I listened carefully to what he...

Seanad: Standing Committee on Operational Cooperation on Internal Security: Motion (21 Jan 2010)

Ivana Bacik: ...other speakers in welcoming the Minister of State to the House and the opportunity to debate this motion. However, to be against an organisation called COSI seems like being against motherhood and apple pie. I do not believe anyone could speak too critically of an organisation called COSI, a particularly strange and perhaps inappropriate acronym which conjures up images of cosy cartels...

Seanad: Appointments to Public Bodies Bill 2009: Second Stage. (28 Oct 2009)

Ivana Bacik: ...Bill. I renew that call and say to Fianna Fáil and the Green Party that they should be supporting it. We all agree it is necessary and we can all sign up to it. It is a bit like motherhood and apple pie; it is very hard to see how one could vote against a Bill that calls for the scrutiny of appointments to approximately 900 public bodies. The legislation is long overdue and is really...

Seanad: Volunteering in Irish Society: Statements (14 Oct 2008)

Ivana Bacik: ...in Ireland, irrespective of whether its source is religious or secular. However, to refer to the importance of volunteering and pay tribute to those who engage in voluntary work is like apple pie and motherhood in that no one will disagree. For this reason, I wish to inject a more challenging, if not controversial, view on volunteering. Let us be a little more forensic in our...

Seanad: HSE Child Welfare and Protection Services: Statements (21 May 2008)

Ivana Bacik: ...of the Minister of State with responsibility for children and youth affairs. There is a great deal in the Minister of State's speech with which we can all agree. Much of it is like motherhood and apple pie — little that is controversial and much that is very positive. The Minister of State spoke of the need to ensure integrated services for child protection. Clearly, that is...
