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 He has not withdrawn it.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)

Matt Carthy: The Tánaiste has said that a couple of times. Of many conversations which I have had, I have never had a single one with a US politician or representative in which the issue of Palestine was not raised. I know that is the case for many others. I put this to the Tánaiste once again because we put this to him in other weeks. We are ready right now.

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

Matt Carthy: Bring your amendments to the committee right now and let us go through each of them one by one. Let us get through Committee Stage today and bring it to the Dáil tomorrow. If the Tánaiste is to be trusted on any of this, he would be moving heaven and earth to make sure that we got to pass the Bill this week. The fact that he has not says to me that he cannot be trusted on this...

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...

Matt Carthy: It is not true. You do this all the time rather than answer the questions and charges we put to you. You try to deflect.
