Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I take it the Deputy is referring to the workplace relations Bill which will be published in this session. I know the difficulties the workers in Irish stores have with HMV. I am glad the moneys for the charitable cause for the little girl will be made available; at least I understand they will. I hope the same facility will be extended to Irish stores as is being extended to people in Britain, where vouchers held will be credited by HMV. Even though the stores are closed in Ireland it should be a matter of completion, from this point of view at least, that whatever vouchers out there would be credited in stores, either through those still open in Britain or through a facility extended in Ireland.

I agree with Deputy Adams in respect of the late Inez McCormack. She did a wonderful job for ICTU, and her courage in speaking out for progression in respect of labour rights for workers, and women in particular, is to be commended. I fully concur with Deputy Adams in this matter.
