Mick Barry (Cork North Central, Solidarity) | Oireachtas source

On the business for the week, I scanned the business paper and I could not find anywhere within it the Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017. This Bill is not everything that we would want but it contains important proposals, such as a curtailment of zero-hour contracts. It is a key issue for many workers, including the LloydsPharmacy workers who are being forced out on strike again this Friday. We want to see this item on the agenda and we want this House to have a chance to pass the legislation with amendments before the summer recess.
