Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Duffy Cahill Report: Discussion

Ms Nessa Cahill:

If I may, I would like to add to that response.

We did say that in the report. We said that the treatment of workers in the situation may require further consideration and may require modifications to the social welfare code. We noted that this was not within the terms of reference. We highlighted this as a potential issue that may need amendments to the social welfare code but we were not advising on it; we were just highlighting it as a potential issue.
