Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

The programme for Government makes much mention of legislation for the creation of employment and reform of the social welfare system. What legislation or measures will be put in place to ensure that employers adhere to the regulations currently in place for the protection of employees, specifically the European Communities (Protection of Employees on Transfer of Undertakings) Regulations 2003? Reported cases are showing that employers, specifically in a plant in Cork, are using this as a measure to renege on redundancy payments.
