Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (21 Jan 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: I move amendment No. 49:In page 52, to delete lines 31 to 36.This section deals with fees. I recognise it is not the Minister's intention to introduce fees but the legislation enables a successor to do so and, therefore, we have to address that possibility. Research carried out in Britain by the Citizens Advice Bureau found that seven out of ten potentially successful cases that employees...

Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (21 Jan 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: It seems to go way beyond the scope of the Government. We are four years into its term of office yet this is one of the first issues that fell heavily upon the Oireachtas as soon as we walked in the door after the last general election. There was an avalanche of companies going to the wall in this way. Looking at it does not afford protections; only through legislation can we achieve that....

Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (21 Jan 2015)

Peadar Tóibín: It seems such a basic right that any facility would be accessible to people with disabilities. I am not sure why the amendment has been ruled out of order. Perhaps it is the case that there could be a cost implication and as a result as an Opposition party Sinn Féin is prohibited in that regard. Given that the Minister will have an opportunity to make such an amendment in the Seanad...

Peadar Tóibín: Ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabháil le foireann na Roinne agus leis an Aire mar gheall ar an t-eolas a scaip siad agus a roinn siad linn i rith na díospóireachta seo.

Junior Cycle Reform: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (21 Jan 2015)

De ghnáth, bíonn an próiseas idirbheartaíochta spíonta. Tá cuma ar an scéal seo nach bhfuil an tAire Oideachais agus Scileanna ag...

Peadar Tóibín: Go raibh maith agat. With regard to the collation of information, Mr. Quinn has stated that he is not collating information from capital projects now. Is it his intention to collate this information in the future? If not, will it be the case that the Departments will collate the information because there is an information deficit?
