Patrick Nulty (Dublin West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Two and a half years into the term of the Government, it has still to publish legislation to provide for a statutory right to collective bargaining. That was a core element of the programme for Government that the Taoiseach agreed. Given that it is 100 years since the Dublin Lock-out, will the Taoiseach not agree that it is appropriate to mark the sacrifice of the men and women concerned with the publication of the legislation? Why, after two and a half years, has the Government yet to publish the Bill? When will be deal with it on the floor of the House?
