Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Companies (Protection of Employees' Rights in Liquidations) Bill 2021: Discussion

Ms Maeve McElwee:

I actually cannot off the top of my head. I will tell the Senator, however, that we were very disappointed with the Duffy-Cahill report because we found that many of the issues that were addressed by the report were not practical and could not be implemented in many circumstances. There was a significant challenge around the way some of those recommendations were framed. I cannot tell the Senator it was one out of six or four out of six but we are on the record as saying we were very concerned with the recommendations.
