I move amendment No. 76:

In page 59, to delete lines 17 to 24 and substitute the following:

“(iii) references to decision of an adjudication officer shall be construed as references to decision of the Director General of the Workplace Relations Commission under section 79 of this Act;
(iv) the reference to decision of an adjudication officer under that section shall be construed as a reference to decision of the Director General of the Workplace Relations Commission under section 79 of this Act; and
(v) references to employee shall be construed as references to complainant within the meaning of Part VII of the Act of 1998 and references to employer shall be construed as references to respondent within such meaning.

(2) Section 45 of the Act of 2014 shall apply to a decision of the Labour Court under section 44 of that Act upon an appeal from a decision of the Director General of the Workplace Relations Commission under section 79 subject to the modification that the following paragraph is substituted for paragraph (b) of subsection (1):

‘(b) on application to it in that behalf, with the consent of the complainant, by the Equality Authority,’.”,”.
