Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)

Richard Bruton: I thank the witnesses for their work on this issue. I know this Bill was the cause of quite a bit of angst, with some high-profile liquidations that were not liquidations. What are the custom and practices with respect to the sole trader provision? A lot of sole traders just cease trading and do not enter into personal insolvency arrangements. They just wind up. Is this requirement of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)

Richard Bruton: That brings me to another question. Ms Breathnach said the implications of being deemed insolvent under this provision are ring-fenced from any other implication. I imagine, unless there is an aggravated end to a business, that employees of a sole trader might not want to put their hand up to say their employer should be deemed insolvent. They would fear phraseology like that, which has...

As Deputy O'Reilly said, there is something of a burden in that and there is probably a psychological issue for people. Could an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)

Richard Bruton: The Department is still requiring an application process and it is not allowing the employer to trigger this process where they recognise the statutory entitlements of their worker but are just not in a position to meet them at that moment. Would it be possible to consider that by way of amendment?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)
