Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017: Discussion

9:00 am

Ms Maeve McElwee:

In principle, I see no reason for employers not supporting any measure that would help prevent discrimination in the workforce. In all circumstances, employers are always looking to increase labour market activation, to improve access to the workforce and for people to come through and into the labour market. Legislation around preventing discrimination is not an unwelcome development at all but it must be something that we can reasonably work within, understand and know.
