Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

Táim buíoch don Taoiseach as freagra soiléir a thabhairt dom. Tá sé soiléir fosta go mbeidh daoine bochta, daoine atá ceangailte leis na JLCs, i dtrioblóid mhór roimh sos an samhraidh. An bhfuil aon phlean ag an Rialtas chun reachtaíocht a ghlacadh go gasta chun seo a chur ina gceart?

The Taoiseach referred to difficulties facing lower paid workers, particularly in light of the recent High Court finding on joint labour committees. Lower paid workers have been left particularly vulnerable and it is Sinn Féin's view that immediate action is needed by the Government to rectify this matter before the summer recess to protect such workers in the short term. In the longer term, we argue for proper and adequate legislation to sustain the joint labour committees and address the issues raised by the High Court judgment. What action does the Taoiseach have in mind to resolve this urgent issue?
