Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
Update on Civil Defence: Discussion
Ms Aileen Nolan:
I will move on to Senator Craughwell's questions on employee protection legislation. Volunteers are not employees; rather they volunteer. From a health and safety point of view, our duty of care to them is as if they are volunteers. There are, therefore, no plans to look at employee protection legislation for them at the moment.
