- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Employment Rights (29 Jun 2022)
Paul Gavan: It is good to see the Minister of State and I thank him for coming to the House. European works councils play an important role in the information and consultation of employees of multinational companies across borders. It is a very important function, underpinned by an EU directive. The directive on European works councils compels member states to put in place adequate administrative or...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Employment Rights (29 Jun 2022)
Paul Gavan: On a personal level, I kind of feel sorry for the Minister of State because in all my time doing Commencement matters this is the shortest answer I have ever seen. In effect, he has no answer for me, which is extraordinary in circumstances where this has been highlighted for years by SIPTU. I will again reference Mr. Denis Sheridan, my colleague from SIPTU, who stated, "As a consequence of...

It is good to see the Minister of State again. The issue with which this amendment deals arose in the Dáil. There is a concern as to whether we need a clearer...

- Seanad: Sick Leave Bill 2022: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2022)
Paul Gavan: I move amendment No. 4: In page 5, to delete lines 30 to 32 and substitute the following: “(5) An employee’s entitlement to a statutory sick leave day shall commence from their first day of employment.”. I wish to acknowledge that when my colleagues in the Dáil expressed concerns in relation to workers who adhere to a fixed pattern of work that includes a...
- Seanad: Sick Leave Bill 2022: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2022)
Paul Gavan: I thank the Minister of State for his response. The difficulty I have is that if we put barriers in the way of workers qualifying for sick pay they will go to work sick. If they go to work sick, they will make other people sick and that will impact the business in a detrimental way. We have been through two horrendous years of Covid. We now think we may not be out of it in the winter and...
