Ms ?ine Maher:

I thank the Senator for that. Without commenting too much on policy matters that will be decisions ultimately for the Minister around the operationalisation of the employment law review group, the intention is that this group would be made up of a professional, technical, legal and academic cohort that would provide independent and expert advice on company and employment law. It is intended that the group would be representative and would be modelled on the CLRG composition. That being said, as I mentioned in relation to a question from Deputy O’Reilly, the intention is that there would be a call for nominations and the group would have representation from worker, employer, academic, legal and practitioners to adequately review the legislation we have around employment law and redundancy and insolvency law, and review its adequacy and response to external issues, including any potential forthcoming European law.
