Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Employment and Youth Unemployment Issues and Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion with IBEC and SFA

3:35 pm

Mr. Tony Donohoe:

I would like to make some brief comments, if I may, on the issue of sick pay and education in this regard. I believe the GP fraternity could be a target for some education in this regard. GPs continue to issue certificates which are questionable. The point is that they are not doing their patients any favours by so doing.
