I move amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 1:

To delete "this day twelve months" and substitute "not later than three months following the commencement of the Autumn session, 2016".

I rarely find myself in a situation where I am speechless but I am speechless this evening listening to the nonsense coming from both sides of the House. We have Fine Gael and its very best friend in government coming together to ensure that workers cannot have a contract that simply reflects the hours they work.

Either the Minister and Minister of State have not read the legislation and have not understood it or they are being quite mischievous and deliberately disingenuous.
