For now, I must oppose amendment No. 39. I am waiting on some legal advice on it. We are keen to work on all recommendations that will further deflect employees from making unnecessary complaints. I am waiting to take legal advice. We will oppose it for now but we will give consideration to it on Report Stage. I am not in a position to take it now. I hope the Deputy understands that.
On amendment No. 41, we will oppose the amendment because the information can already be shared with WRC inspectors operating as agents for the Minister without the need to be specifically included in this list. We do not believe it needs to be specified because it is there, and similarly with amendment No. 42.
