I move amendment No. 119:

In page 42, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following:

“(e) recognised trade unions and staff associations in designated institutions of higher education,”.

There is a very comprehensive list in the legislation of those who should be consulted with when preparing a draft plan but the glaring omission is the trade unions and staff associations in designated institutions of higher education. I see Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh makes the same point. If we have a comprehensive list of those who should be consulted, the trade unions need to be in there.
