Mary Butler: Dr. Desmond Ryan from the school of law at Trinity College Dublin attended one of our meetings. He made the same point about there being a gap in the Bill as regards unfair dismissals that needed to be addressed. If the period was six months, someone could be dismissed unfairly.

Mary Butler: Through no fault of the drafter, could the Bill have negative unintended consequences? Negative consequences have been pointed out to us. For example, a legal group told us that a worker employed by the State would not be covered because the definitions of "worker" and "employee" had been drawn from two-----

Mary Butler: I will refer to another part of the Bill because an issue arose with many employer groups. I do not normally ask so many questions but because many members are missing I will do so. Many employers had an issue with the part of the Bill requiring them to state quite clearly in writing how many hours were available to a particular person for a week in two different languages. In fairness to...

Rather, it would refer to everyone. That is a major issue for a large factory employing 800 people.
