Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Banded Hours Contract Bill 2016: Discussion (Resumed).

4:00 pm

Mr. Adrian Cummins:

The question addressed to me related to the regulatory impact statement. It is in contained in our submission. I did not mention it in my opening address. I totally agree that there should be a regulatory impact assessment of any Bill, but specifically on this one.

With regard to disruptor economies, Deputy Bríd Smith mentioned a company, which I will not name. Let us talk about disruptor economies. That is a business that has grown phenomenally worldwide. The vast majority of those who are working with that company are students who want to work and want to get extra hours in order that they can go to college. People will use those avenues to gain employment if they so wish. That is a matter for that technology company. They are in our hospitality-restaurant space. It is working extremely well. Right across the world, they are growing.
