A key thing that this Bill will do is put workers at the head of the queue when it comes to liquidation, to ensure that they get the money first. I have in mind people I met in Limerick who had over 20 years of service in Debenhams in Limerick, who had to spend 400 days on a picket line. That call seems entirely just. Would Ms McElwee support the call that workers should come first?
