Niall Collins (Limerick County, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I appreciate that the Tánaiste sees that the Bill is urgent but she has not provided us with a date. I press her to do so. Is it likely we will see the Bill before the House in the current session at least to kick off its passage through the Oireachtas? In the work of the joint committee, pretty much everyone has been on the same page, which is important. It is legislation which will impact on the most vulnerable people in the employment landscape. The fact we have been waiting so long impresses on us all the urgency of the Bill. I would not like to see the opportunity being lost. We all know how precarious the current Dáil is. That is the result that was handed to us by the public. There is so much expectation on the Bill that I impress the point on the Tánaiste again and ask her if she has a date in mind.
