Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Réada Cronin: I know the Tánaiste is under time constraints. I believe we have highly intelligent legal people who could work on amendments. We in Sinn Féin have offered our time tomorrow and the Social Democrats the day after. This committee will sit tonight, tomorrow and early on Thursday morning to go through this and to pass the Bill because I cannot help but believe that the Government...

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Réada Cronin: There is a touch of the "Lord, make me chaste but not yet" to all of this being so last minute.

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Réada Cronin: Is the Tánaiste prepared to bring forward these amendments so that we can pass this Bill before the Dáil is dissolved? I also have a question for the witness, Senator Black. Was she under the impression a couple of weeks ago-----

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Jack Chambers: To speak about the amendment tabled, the specific wording proposed by the Deputies would have no effect if incorporated into the Finance Bill. For this reason, I cannot accept it. The proposed amendment is to section 1, which provides for the meaning of words in Part 1. Inserting a definition here does not change the meaning of words in the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 and, as such, the...

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Pearse Doherty: Can I take the Minister up on that? He has completely misled the Dáil again and I really need to ask him to stop doing that. He made the point that loans sold to vulture funds or credit servicing firms are subject to the same rights and entitlements when sold. We know that is not the case, and the FSPO is on record as saying it is not. There was a major loophole in the legislation in...

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Jack Chambers: An amendment has been made regarding the FSPO, as the Deputy is aware, in the context of what he has set out. The Government previously sought to correct this. I have set out the robust framework in place to protect people dealing with issues such as mortgage arrears. The CCMA forms part of the Central Bank’s consumer protection framework and is a central part of its overall...

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Pearse Doherty: I need to pull up the Minister on his claim. He has not withdrawn it. Does he accept – he cannot but do so – that people who have had their loans sold to vulture funds currently do not have the same protections they would have if they had not been sold? Quite a large number of individuals do not. The Minister is in charge of the legislation that is supposed to stop this. It...

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Réada Cronin: There is a question of trust here because it seems very lastminute.com.

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Pearse Doherty: Obviously, we are all waiting for the whistle to be blown in terms of the election. In my time in these Houses, I think this is the 18th Finance Bill I have responded to. Even during the time of the IMF bailout, there was agreement to get the Finance Bill through the House. This guillotine is not appropriate. There are sections in this legislation which will not see the light of day in...

Catherine Connolly: I dtús báire, tá botún le réiteach. There is a typographical error that the Minister will address.

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Jack Chambers: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I wish to draw Deputies' attention to a minor typographical error that my Department has noted in the Bill on page 161, line 14. A reference has been inadvertently labelled “89A(ii) of (iii)” rather than the correct version of “89A(ii) or (iii)”. I seek to invoke Dáil Standing Order 196 to request that...

SECTION 1

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I move amendment No. 1: In page 9, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following: “ “investment undertaking” includes a retail credit firm as defined in section 28 of the Central Bank Act 1997 and any other person who owns credit which is being serviced by a credit servicer as defined in section 28(2) of that Act.”. I am very concerned about the lack of...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: The Taoiseach will be aware that there is a great deal of ambition and appetite for improved public transport in Cork but confidence in the system is unfortunately being seriously undermined. Our office is inundated with constant reports of buses not turning up or turning up an hour and 15 minutes late on services that are supposed to run every 20 minutes. Even with the timetable being...
