Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 11:

In page 7, line 26, to delete "employed" and substitute "employed under a contract of employment".

These are technical amendments which aim to clarify beyond doubt that as the Bill refers to persons who are employed under a contract of employment this extends also to persons employed by the State or in the wider public service such as local authorities or the HSE, namely, in areas not normally governed by contracts of employment.

Amendment put and declared carried.
