I move amendment No. 18:

In page 20, to delete lines 25 to 30 and substitute the following: “(a)1 person, being neither a registered person nor an employee of a registered person, who is nominated for such appointment by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions

(b) 4 persons who are nominated for such appointment by the Minister following consultation by him or her with the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science and the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment -

(i) who are not registered persons, and

(ii) who are not employees of registered persons;”.

This amendment relates to trade union representation on the appeals committee. In the interests of trying to advance as many amendments as we can this evening I will limit my comments to that. The Minister of State understands what I am trying to achieve here.
