In regard to the industrial relations Bill, is the Minister aware of the threat of industrial action next Wednesday in the Cadbury's chocolate factory in Coolock in response to proposals to outsource the electrical department in the factory and to undermine the staff's pensions and working conditions? Is he also aware that the parent company, Mondelēz International, is in breach of European legislation? Companies which operate in multiple European countries are obliged to engage with their staff but the company is refusing to do so. I urge the Government to intervene because this plant provides hundreds of jobs in the northside. People are being pushed around and bullied. Common sense needs to be brought to the issue.
