Humanitarian Crisis in Iraq: Statements. - Regulatory Reform: Motion.
10:30 am
Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)
I am glad to have the opportunity to address the Seanad on this important issue as I firmly believe implementing a successful programme of regulatory reform is critical to our ability as a country to sustain future economic and social progress. I am a firm believer in the power of competition to benefit the consumer and spur innovation and productivity growth. Research has shown that vigorous competition in local markets not only benefits consumers but is also an essential element in providing the competitive base that will enable export companies to succeed in world markets.
