General Scheme of the Plan of Action on Collective Redundancies following Insolvency Bill 2023: Discussion

Ms Dara Breathnach:

Even though there is a large cast of officials here today, it is another of our colleagues who is predominantly working on works councils. We would not see the Bill as having a significant interaction with works councils. That is largely a separate track because in these situations we are looking at consultations with unions and workers' representatives. I do not think works councils will be significantly relevant. We will consult another of our colleagues to see if she has a view on any possible interactions in that regard.
