The Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Burton, has brought forward proposals on sick pay arrangements. While the Government does not create jobs, it is there to create the environment for job creation. It is employers who create jobs. I believe the Minister's policy on sick pay is flying in the face of employers not only trying to maintain jobs, but also creating new jobs. It is fundamentally an aggressor to the policy of the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Bruton. Will the Leader arrange for the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Burton, to come before the House to discuss her policy and proposals on sick pay?

When will Committee Stage of the Coroners Bill be taken in the House?
