I will not use my allotted time later as I will have to leave and I apologise for that. In the event that a worker seeks to access their rights under this legislation, he or she could have to wait for a year an a half before getting a result on his or her appeal. Is the Department examining a mechanism whereby that might be speeded up, or is it simply considering the reasonableness, or otherwise, of the request as the test and that being added but that the procedure would still be that the appeal would be referred to the WRC?
