Protection of Employment (Exceptional Collective Redundancies and Related Matters) Bill 2007 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages
2:00 pm
Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)
There is nothing to chase in such circumstances. In many instances, workers are equally at a disadvantage because they are unable to negotiate more than the statutory level. There is a strong argument, in many respects, for directing a great deal of attention at the level of actual statutory redundancy. It is worth trying to devise a formula to apply to cases like Comerama and Castlemahon. While those two cases are quite different in some respects, they are both examples of cases which cause the affected workers to feel a strong sense of injustice.
