I wish to make a plea, not just to the members of this committee but to civil servants, who I hope are watching this somewhere, to look at my Bill and work with me. My Bill is not perfect and I am happy to look at changes to it, but I want to protect workers, as I think everyone does. The Bill has passed in the Seanad and has passed Second Stage in the Dáil. We can do this but the Minister appears to be the stumbling block. The Minister's Bill is a diversion and we can, and must, do better.
