Mr. Ian Talbot:

On the rebalancing of work in the direction of trade versus human rights, Chambers Ireland is a full supporter of employment legislation. We think employment legislation, which is dealt with in approximately 45 different Acts that apply to Irish companies, should be consolidated and rationalised, but we are fully in support of adherence to employment legislation. Before the introduction of the minimum wage, we were one of the organisations that called for its introduction. We share the concerns of members to ensure that any rebalancing of workloads is done in a careful and understanding way and within the legislation.
