I have a query on section 9, to which I am not opposed. I raised this question on Labour Court findings on a number of occasions and I did not submit an amendment on this occasion. Where findings are made against employers, the applicant is often on some type of social welfare payment while waiting on such an award being made but the Department of Social Protection cannot recover the money from the employer. It is something similar. I suggest that some mechanisms be looked at again to ensure that such payments where somebody has been laid off in the wrong can be recovered from the employer as part of an award in the Labour Court.
