I thank Deputy Collins for her interest in this area. It is, however, important to acknowledge the point that the Minister, Deputy Bruton, made earlier, namely, that we have seen huge growth in full-time employment in this country over the last 12-18 months in particular, which is borne out by CSO data. The vast majority of jobs created are full-time jobs created by hard-working businesses which are contributing to this economy. I very much look forward to the findings of this report being made available to me and I assure the House that we will act where required to ensure that people's rights are protected and that their dignity at work is vindicated.
