Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

We look forward to working with the Minister to implement the directive and I welcome that he will reflect on the points I made. They are practical points and are not made for any reason other than my belief that it is a little unfair to shift that level of responsibility onto an individual without placing the same level of responsibility on the employer to ensure compliance.

Another issue that was raised and must be considered is what will happen in the event of an IT malfunction. I welcome that the Minister will engage in some consultation and that there will be an opportunity to review. I ask that the concerns I have raised be taken on board.
