Seán Sherlock (Cork East, Labour)

Question 82: To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if his attention has been drawn to the fact that workers here have fewer public holidays than workers in most EU countries; if he will increase the number of public holidays from nine to 11 to bring Irish workers up to the EU average and particularly in view of recent statistics showing that workers here are the second most productive in the world; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
