Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

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

Ms Fiona O'Dea:

The law is a careful balancing of rights. Any amendments made to the Companies Act are considered. We are fortunate to have the CLRG in place in that it represents the balance of views in this area. Of course, we keep company law under review. We always do. It is a modern framework but we keep it under review. If there are any issues arising with regard to any aspect of it, the CLRG can be asked to consider it and examine those issues. I have no comment on that.
