Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail)

Senator Callely's point on the treatment of intellectual property in insolvency situations is a company law issue. I would be pleased to bring the Senator's concerns to the attention of the Minister of State with responsibility in that area, Deputy Kelleher, for examination.

I reiterate that we wish to pursue the proposal but it may not occur within the Senator's timeline because it is a Finance Bill issue. Officials from the Department will pursue the issue with the Senator in the coming weeks and work with him on it. I have no doubt about the Senator's genuine commitment to the proposal. We all share the ambition to try to develop this sector as much as we can.
