Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Resourcing and Capacity of the Workplace Relations Commission: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Resourcing and Capacity of the Workplace Relations Commission: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: Is it expected that officials in the Department of Justice will just google to try to find out if there have been prosecutions? It strikes me that much more could be done by the WRC in this instance.
