Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

I disagree strongly with Deputy Morgan on that point. The authority of the Labour Court is a deterrent in the first instance. If an employer was not disposed to giving the information, he knows that the Labour Court could carry out an examination and would clearly have more power than any individual or any other body. The effect in the legislation of having a role for the Labour Court in this respect is considerably more powerful than any alternative arrangement that might be put in place.
