EU Directives
Seanad Éireann — 2022-11-30
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

The Acting Chairperson is kind. It appears to me that the due diligence obligations will only apply to financial players before they provide a service, for example, insurance. Investments will not be covered and EU countries can exempt pension funds. This is glaringly a missed opportunity to strengthen the directive. Perhaps the Minister of State will comment on this point.
