Dail Éireann — 2022-03-02
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

-----there are many formulaic responses to Ukraine and then the Deputy very hurriedly wants to move on to other issues. Anyway, I will say no more than that.
Deputy Paul Murphy spoke about the corporate sustainability due diligence EU directive. We support greater corporate accountability. The European Union has done far more than most across the world in terms of corporate sustainability policies and directives, as well as accountability and holding people to task. Through the various layers of both legal and judicial agencies within the European Union, that has been seen on an ongoing basis in terms of companies being brought before European courts or the Commission and being tackled in relation to a range of issues. I do not accept the criticism of the European Union, which is a consistent theme of Deputy Paul Murphy and others-----
