I have one caveat. I seek a briefing on the findings of the EU committee on social rights which found, or judged, that Ireland was in breach of the European Social Charter and of European employment law. That committee is an independent legal body tasked with judging whether the State is in compliance with the charter and existing EU employment law. If it has found us to be in breach it would be prudent for us to find out the reason for that before we agree to this proposal.
