Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment
Just Transition (Worker and Community Environmental Rights) Bill 2018: Discussion
Mr. Brian Carroll:
The terms of reference, which I have in front of me, say, among other things, that the commissioner will engage with all relevant stakeholders including, and I will not go through the list, the relevant trade unions and workers' representatives. It is explicitly stated in the terms of reference that the commissioner is to engage with relevant trade unions and worker representatives. The terms of reference also state that the just transition commissioner will not have a direct role in regard to industrial relations matters in Bord na Móna and that they will continue to work with the joint industrial relations council established under the Workplace Relations Commission.
