Will the Minister set out his views on the findings of the report of the University of Limerick and the study on the prevalence of zero-hour contracts? The study confirms the precarious nature of work in this economy. It confirms that the labour market has become increasingly flexible not through the use not of zero-hour contracts, in particular, but of if-and-when contracts. What is the Government going to do to ensure that the jobs being created are decent jobs such that people can provide decent living standards for themselves and their families?
