I welcome some of the Clerys workers who are in the Visitors Gallery. I wish to express my and my party's solidarity with them. It has been more than a month since these workers were turfed out on the street, yet nothing has been done for them. My question is specifically focused on what is available in company legislation to ensure the rights of these individuals are upheld. A number of companies and workers have got stuffed previously, and the State has been left on the hook for millions of euro. What is different now whereby this legislation will make a difference in the lives of these people?
