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

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

-----notwithstanding the fact that of all international bodies, the European Union has by far been the most progressive in terms of holding companies to account on environmental issues and on a range of other issues as well. It is a draft directive. It will go through change as it goes through the various Councils and so on.
In response to Deputy O'Reilly in relation to Ukraine, I have been raising this issue since the invasion of Crimea. I am on the record in this House, and was sometimes a lone-enough voice because people, including the Deputy's party, were not as exercised about the invasion of Crimea back then, unfortunately. That was a pity.
