Peadar Tóibín (Meath West, Sinn Fein)

I am disappointed with the Minister's view on this. The section states that the court shall have regard to the benefits of the consultation, the experience of registration, the potential impact on employment, the levels of employment and unemployment in the sectors in question. In referring to those sectors, it is more definite in their reference and in the ingredients of the decision making. I still stand by the view that the word "desirability" makes that effect of sustainable rates and remuneration, surely the purpose of this legislation, less definite. It is disappointing that my amendment is not being accepted.
