Peadar Tóibín (Meath West, Sinn Fein)

I support the amendment. Often the weakness in labour law relates to compliance and enforcement. Employers who are not compliant seek ways to extend the time within which an individual can achieve justice and the penalty usually is the initial fine. If an employer is of the view that he can draw the process out and dodge the case for a period knowing he will only be hit with the original penalty, there is a great incentive to do that. I support the strengthening of the enforcement and compliance involved in this.
