Employment Permits Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (31 Jan 2024)

Michael Creed: Very often in the context of the debate we are having nationally at the moment about migration, we sometimes conveniently ignore the critical contribution to the economy of migrants in the workplace.

Michael Creed: I have a few observations to make on the general issue of mineral oil tax. There is much confusion about the component elements of it.
