I move amendment No. 7:

In page 10, line 2, after “proper.” to insert the following:“When making an order varying the agreement, the Court shall attempt to get the consent of both parties.”.
We spoke briefly about this on Committee Stage. The Labour Court has been given the power to make an order to vary an agreement. I assume that is only as a last-minute or emergency solution. The aim of this amendment is to ensure the court goes to every length possible to get the agreement of both employer and employee organisations before it makes that variation, and that this is protected.
