Pearse Doherty (Donegal South West, Sinn Fein)

In light of the Minister's comments on the "Tonight with Vincent Browne" programme last night, will he confirm that the legislation to undermine the joint labour committees will end Sunday premiums and, in his own words, significantly reduce the take home pay of new entrants in the relevant sectors? Will he indicate what legislation is promised to protect existing workers from being fired and rehired under the new, lower Sunday premium rates? Will he indicate when the relevant legislation will be published given the recent arguments he has had with the Labour Parliamentary Party? Is he in a position to state whether the legislation will reflect Burton's way or Bruton's way?
