Ms Fiona O'Dea:

I wish to come back to the Senator with regard to the composition of the CLRG and make the point that the workers are represented on it.

It has employers and insolvency practitioners and so forth. It is an effort to strike the right balance between the different parties and their interests. ICTU produced a minority report to the CLRG's March 2021 report on the provision of information to creditors, particularly workers. The Department took on board a number of the recommendations from the ICTU minority report that might not have been considered by the CLRG. Some of those were implemented. Others are featured but perhaps adapted, so it would have taken the ICTU recommendations and adapted them somewhat. We listen to what comes out of the CLRG, including trying to strike that balance. I would also make the point that under company law, workers are creditors. They are a special category of creditor and company law deals with workers as creditors.
