The representatives of workers here have said that legislative protection is required. Whether or not it is required to absolutely implement the bare minimum of the directive is separate to that. Does IBEC have a view about those legislative protections? In my opinion, on the face of it there is nothing that any decent employer would fear. Would it be IBEC's position that it would support that legislative programme given, as Ms McElwee says, its position is that it is not necessary to transpose the minimum required in the directive?
