Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

I will bear that in mind when considering the amendments and any others tabled by the Deputy and others.

I am interested in Deputy Quinn's call for a consolidation of labour law. When I was appointed to this position two years ago, I thought that what the Deputy suggests was one of the most urgent jobs that needed to be done. In the interim, events involving Gama, Irish Ferries and other companies have thrown up the need for urgent legislation such as that before the House.
