In fairness to everyone here today, we are trying to conclude deliberations on Sinn Féin's Banded Hours Contract Bill. The Minister of State has spoken about the heads of the Bill that the Government will bring forward. Officials from the Department will come forward and we will have an opportunity to debate the other Bill. Earlier today Dr. Caroline Murphy from the University of Limerick mentioned casual workers. She said that she felt there could be an unintended consequence from casual work not being mentioned. We will have plenty of time to debate the issue because the current Bill has only begun its journey. There has been a lot of toing and froing but we have not scrutinised the new Bill.
