Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I want to draw attention to Articles 6 and 7 of the UN International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights cited in the motion. Article 6 deals with the right to work freely and avail of vocational guidance and training. Article 7 deals with the right to paid work with fair and safe conditions and with special regard to equal pay for equal work. Article 8 deals with the right to join and carry on the business of a trade union.
