Pat Breen (Clare, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

This is new politics and the Opposition has a chairman. I agree with the Minister that input from the social partners and other representative groups would greatly assist the committee's consideration of the Bill. In the meantime, I will be working closely with the Minister to bring forward proposals in response to the UL study, which will address the issues of insecure low-hour work in a more comprehensive manner than the narrow approach taken by Sinn Féin this evening in this Private Members' debate. It is important for the Government to deal with this in a more comprehensive manner.
