Joe Sherlock (Cork East, Labour)

In accordance with the terms of Standing Order 31, I seek to move the adjournment of the Dáil to discuss the following specific and important matter of public interest requiring urgent attention, namely, the measures the Government plans to take to ensure Greencore workers' rights to redundancy terms based on a full unadjusted salary applicable at the date of the redundancy plus 20%, as provided by the company-union agreement, are upheld in view of the repeated refusal by the company to honour the agreement, particularly in light of the letter sent by the Labour Court to the company on 17 October restating its original finding in this matter. Given the importance of this issue, I hope the Ceann Comhairle will agree to the adjournment of the House.
