I wish to mention a number of amendments on which I intend to reflect and bring forward amendments on Report Stage. It was remiss of me not to do that. At this point I intend to bring forward three amendments: an amendment to the definition of "worker" under section 23 of the Industrial Relations Act 1990 to provide, in particular, access to the Workplace Relations Commission and the Labour Court for individual retired persons for the purpose of pursuing issues related to the terms and conditions of the relevant worker that pertained at the time of the retirement; an amendment to the definition of "agriculture" under section 1 of the Industrial Relations Act 1976 to give effect to the recommendation in relation to the agriculture joint labour committee, JLC, in the context of the Labour Court review of all the JLCs which was undertaken in 2013; and an amendment to the Industrial Relations Act 1946 to address the lacuna in relation to the making of orders providing for the establishment of new JLCs.
