- 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...

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...

Micheál Martin: It was in July. Obviously we had the recess in August. One of the immediate acts I took was around defence procurement, because I saw a publication of The Irish Times to the effect that there was a likelihood - I do not know where that came from within whatever sources were communicating to The Irish Times - that we would be purchasing equipment from the Israeli defence industry in terms of...

Micheál Martin: I do not really take lectures from your party in respect of our bona fide commitment to Palestinian self-determination and the rights of Palestinians. I would have more respect for your position if I had seen Sinn Féin be more robust in the United States, where it has considerable influence and raises a lot of money, but its silence in the United States on the Palestinian question has...

Micheál Martin: No. I want to make the point that you had a go at Fianna Fáil; fair enough. Our support for Palestinians' right to self-determination has been consistent. We may differ in terms of different mechanisms and approaches as how to achieve that, but the bottom line is I am proud that this Government took the decision to recognise Palestine as a state. We have a lot more to do in that regard.

Likewise, Spain and Ireland have taken the lead on the Israeli association agreement in the European Union. On the substance, I have already outlined the grounds upon which we propose to situate the Bill in terms of the public policy exemption. That is going to be the...
