Companies (Corporate Governance, Enforcement and Regulatory Provisions) Bill 2024: Second Stage
Dail Éireann — 2024-09-25
============================================================

Michael Healy-Rae (IND), Kerry

I am talking about keeping people in business. There are politicians who think there is something dirty about business and something wrong with people who get up in the morning, whether they are families or individuals, and who get out and create employment and want to make a profit and pay tax on it. Is there something wrong with that? There absolutely is not, and I do not like to hear people mouthing and mumbling under their breath because they might have something against something I am saying. I will stand up for workers. I will stand up for employers.
