I move amendment No. 15:

In page 30, line 35, after “offence” to insert “and for the purpose of the performance of the Commissions functions”.
There are concerns that this Bill will restrict the use the Workplace Relations Commission, WRC, can make of information to the purpose only of detection, investigation or prosecution of an offence. Organisations like ICTU, for example, believe it will be too restrictive. This amendment also goes some way towards dealing with the discovery deficit within the Bill.
