Willie O'Dea (Limerick City, Fianna Fail)

There is currently in force a directive in respect of agency workers despite that no legislation has yet been produced. According to the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation that directive came into force last Monday. Therefore, the people operating it are working in the dark. When will the relevant legislation be brought before us?

Also, when will legislation to reform joint labour committees be introduced, which legislation has been promised for the past two months?
