Peadar Tóibín: I move amendment No. 42: In page 40, line 10, after “Court” to insert “, an Adjudication Officer, complainant, or respondent”.Is it the case that this Bill proposes to delete sections 79(5)(a) and 79(7) of the Employment Equality Acts?

It may...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2014)

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: We oppose section 69 and we also oppose this new section. While the present Minister might have good intent, and makes a logical argument for an application of a fee to prevent people skipping the first part of the process, the regulations mean it will be in the hands of future Ministers and there is the possibility a future Minister could be inequitable in his or her application of a fee....

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: Respectfully, if the Minister had made that statement, I would have said that it expressed an opinion that recognition of a union should not be made mandatory in this particular system. I understand it is linked to the wider collective bargaining issue, which is important as people have the right to association and to have people they choose represent them. I am aware there is a problem...

Peadar Tóibín: Cuirim fáilte mór roimh na toscairí agus gabhaim buíochas leo as an gcur i láthair. The presentation has been interesting and it is good to see ICTU here. Ms King alluded to the fact that the lack of collective bargaining has left us with a massive problem. The result of this has been the collapse of the previous system and we are now trying to build the complex...

Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Instruction to Committee (12 Nov 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: 11 o’clock Before dealing with the content of the motion, it would be wrong for me not to highlight the terrible manner in which this legislation is being put through.

Peadar Tóibín: The direction the Chair has given us regarding why our amendments have been deemed to be out of order is not the same as the direction we received from the Chairman of the Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation when we considered this Bill on Committee Stage. Indeed, at the start of that debate we were directed to identify any amendments that we intended to propose on Report...

Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Report and Final Stages (12 Nov 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: Briefly, many employees do not even have a contract of work. Many employees do not have guidelines such as those to which the Minister of State has alluded. In addition, if there is a folder containing all that information within the office of the employer, the very act of an employee demanding this information creates a tension that can mean an employer then starts to consider this person...

Peadar Tóibín: I move amendment No. 12:In page 27, line 31, to delete “42 days” and substitute “28 days”.On amendment No. 12, Sinn Féin has sought to create a reasonable length of time by which an employer must appeal a compliance notice. Originally, I sought a period of two weeks in this regard but this was deemed to be too short. I noted that, recently, the Government...
