Investment Limited Partnerships (Amendment) Bill 2020: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2020-09-30
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

I am staying with the Bill. Here is the thing. We know from the fallout relating to the Bill that there are concerns about lobbying in the sector. The problem is that when the Standards in Public Office Commission, SIPO, wrote to the former Minister to express these concerns regarding section 22, the Minister of State who reviewed it and said there was nothing to do was none other than Michael D'Arcy. I am simply making the point that given all that has happened, Sinn Féin's position right now is that we need to go back to pre-legislative scrutiny and examine the Bill line by line.
