Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

It is possible to bring matters arising from the code to the dispute settling machinery of the Labour Court or the Employment Appeals Tribunal in the normal way, that is, as the Deputy and everybody else is aware, in accordance with the voluntarist tradition in the Irish system. As far as I am aware, it works perfectly well. The court or other body is expected to take account of the provisions of the code and has done so heretofore. Frankly, I do not see what the difficulty is in that regard.
