Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement (23 Nov 2017)

Maurice Quinlivan: I am disappointed with the response I received this morning to the six parliamentary questions I asked over a month ago on 25 October. Those questions have not been answered.

Banded Hours Contract Bill 2016 Report: Motion (16 Nov 2017)

Maurice Quinlivan: I acknowledge the vast amount of work Deputy Cullinane has put into this Bill. There is a very simple agenda behind this legislation, which is to give workers more security regarding the number of hours they work and the amount they are paid as a result.

Other Questions: Unemployment Levels (7 Nov 2017)

I appreciate there is a certain point which traditionally constitutes full employment. I...
