Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Oireachtas Banking Inquiry (27 May 2014)

It is worrying that the ECB will not commit to...

Employment Permits (Amendment) Bill 2014: Second Stage (27 May 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: I wish to raise an issue related to this legislation, the ongoing crisis in Paris Bakery. Shockingly, six years into the crisis we are still confronted with workers who, through no fault of their own, are not being paid for work done and who are not granted holiday and redundancy entitlements, etc. by unscrupulous employers. We are still faced with a regulation and legislation gap and a...

Peadar Tóibín: Labhair an Seanadóir Ó Clochartaigh faoi na scéimeanna teanga, mar sin níl mé chun a lán a rá faoin ábhar sin, ach amháin go bhfuil sé dochreidte go dtógfaidh sé 40 bliain chun iad a dhaingniú. Dúirt Ms Killoran nach raibh sé i gceist an obair seo a dhéanamh thar oíche ach tá an-difríocht idir...

Peadar Tóibín: An bhfuil a fhios ag Ms Killoran cén céatadán é sin de dhaoine atá ag obair ins na heagraíochtaí poiblí? Muna bhfuil a fhios aici b'fhéidir go dtiocfadh sí ar ais leis an bhfigiúr sin.
