Peadar Tóibín (Meath West, Sinn Fein)

I move amendment No. 13:

In page 17, between lines 14 and 15, to insert the following:

"(i) maintaining of fair and sustainable rates of remuneration appropriate to the sector in question;".

Section 41A(3) states: "When carrying out a review under subsection (1), the Court shall have regard to the following". My understanding was that the aim of legislation was to maintain a fair and sustainable rate of remuneration appropriate to the sector in question. This integral element of the purpose of the legislation is missing at this step. It is only fair that we focus on this and try to ensure it is taken into account at every stage of the process.
