IDA intervention and sovereignty

Summary

Senator Healy Eames asks about an alleged abuse of position involving the IDA and stresses that economic development must not override democratic sovereignty.

Paddy Burke An Cathaoirleach Fine Gael

Has the Senator a question for the Leader?

Comment on this

As a person from the west, an area which badly needs jobs, I support everything about the IDA in terms of jobs but I would never support its intervention in respect of the sovereignty of the people in the democratic process. What is the Government's role regarding this man's abuse of his position? I would like to hear a reply to that question.
