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

I move amendment No. 102:

In page 82, line 11, after "Síochána" to insert ", inspectors from the Workplace Relations Commission, Labour Court, the Department of Social Protection, the Revenue Commissioners".

This amendment is straightforward. It provides that not only shall an employer not penalise, or threaten penalisation against, a worker for making a complaint to a member of An Garda Síochána or the Minister that a provision of this Bill is not being complied with, but they shall not threaten to penalise or penalise an employee for making a complaint to an inspector from the Workplace Relations Commission, the Labour Court, the Department of Social Protection or the Revenue Commissioners. As is the spirit of many of the amendments I have put forward, this group of amendments is about additional safeguards for what we have all agreed are a vulnerable group of workers.
