Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

I understand Deputy Morgan's intention with regard to this amendment. However, among the provisions in subsection (1) are "anything that affects the employee to his or her detriment". That definition covers harassment. If one stipulates that the terms "harassment" and "bullying" must be included in the Bill, one could find arguments for including a range of other terms as well. Including the term "harassment" does not appear to strengthen the provisions of the Bill in this section, particularly in view of the provisions at section 27(1).
