Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

In his meetings with the employers and trade union leaders did the Taoiseach discuss the joint labour committees, JLCs? I appreciate the fact that the Government did not oppose the Sinn Féin Bill relating to the joint labour committees last Friday. Tá Sinn Féin ag tabhairt amach, agus an ceart againn, go bhfuil an Rialtas an-thapaidh chun reachtaíocht a bhrú tríd an Oireachtas ar son an EU agus an IMF, ach tá sé i bhfad níos maille maidir le reachtaíocht chun cearta na n-oibritheoirí a chosaint.

What steps has the Government taken to ensure that the 180,000 employees who were abandoned by the JLC High Court judgment in July are to be protected?
