I agree with Deputy Clare Daly. I have no difficulty with providing for flexibility. There are obvious reasons that workers need flexibility. That balance has to be protected for the employee, and providing for a minimum of three hours does not go beyond that concept. It is in the University of Limerick report. We could look at providing for flexibility on Report Stage in the form of possible compensation of three hours. I will press these anyway.
