It is important to stress we are dealing specifically with a unique case relating to one employer, albeit a large one with a presence in much of the country. Moreover, the case is going through two distinct processes, namely, examinership and the WRC, that we as legislators should not intervene in or directly comment on.

The Government is always open to reflecting on legislation that can be improved. I do not necessarily provide any concessions, but the events that are ongoing certainly provide a challenge to the Government to look at this in more depth, and that is something we will take away. We will get into the detail with officials over the summer recess, and in the meantime, if the Deputy has any thoughts on the matter, we can sit down with any Deputies, in government or in opposition, and will be more than happy to proceed in that manner.
