Protection of Employment (Exceptional Collective Redundancies and Related Matters) Bill 2007 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages
1:00 pm
Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)
It is always difficult to argue the merits of one time span against another, particularly if the difference is relatively short. The term of 30 days in which to deal with these matters is reasonable. If the House gives the message that a longer period is necessary, I would be concerned about the employer or anyone involved being given the opportunity to delay a matter that should be dealt with urgently. For this reason, I am not prepared to accept the amendment.
