Joan Collins (Dublin South Central, Independent) | Oireachtas source

The Mandate union has said it wants to keep this piece of legislation. There is a concern that the Irish Business and Employers Confederation, IBEC, is putting the strong arm on certain parts of this Bill. Is it unusual to have two different Acts under which a claim can be pursued against an employer? I have been advised it is. Is it a serious problem that an employee can use two different Acts? I am concerned about that. It is Deputy O'Dea's amendment, so he will have to make a decision on what he wants to do.
