Employment Equality (Abolition of Mandatory Retirement Age) Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members]
7:35 pm

I welcome the words of support from the Government and Fianna Fáil. It must be welcomed that the Government and Fianna Fáil will not oppose the Bill and are willing to work with Sinn Féin on getting it right. It would have been surprising if the opposite had been the case, given that all parties agreed to the Bill when it came before the House back in 2015. Unfortunately, the Bill fell with the Thirty-first Dáil. The Minister of State says we must wait for reports to be produced before we progress the Bill. I think this will be a very short-lived Government.
