Applying the amendment as it stands inserts something specific to murder for the aged-out...

- Companies (Corporate Governance, Enforcement and Regulatory Provisions) Bill 2024: Second Stage (25 Sep 2024)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk about this proposed Bill. I have taken enough guff taken from people inside this Chamber condemning people who employ people.

The pay is one thing; there are people at home waiting...
