Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

European Work Councils and Legislative Provisions for Dispute Procedures: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Philip Sack:

I think those are other issues in the legislation rather than enforcement, per se. I was negotiating that directive on behalf of the UK Government and we worked closely with the Irish Government, which is why the legislation looks rather similar. We were trying to limit its impact in the two countries. It is not to do with enforcement, as such.
