Financial Provisions (Covid-19) (No. 2) Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2020-07-30
============================================================

Ivana Bacik (LAB), University of Dublin

I thank the Minister of State for taking the time to address that point. I am grateful to him. Clearly, it is a point of widespread concern. Senator Buttimer also raised it on Second Stage after I had done so. I hope that a resolution might be found more swiftly. There was some indication that it might be done through administrative means and not necessarily through legislation. Everyone appreciates that the position of proprietary directors, often small family businesses and so on, is a really pressing concern. I hope that by raising the matter I have placed some focus on it and that it can be addressed.
