Civil Liability and Courts (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (25 Mar 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Deputy Naughten and his group for tabling this Bill. As my colleague, Teachta Kenny, has outlined, we support this. However, we believe that it would benefit from discussion on Committee Stage so that we can all work together to improve it. One thing that we are all aware of in our constituency offices is the cost of insurance and its impact on our constituents. There are issues,...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Workplace Relations Commission (25 Mar 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: Workplace Relations Commission, WRC, inspectors do a fantastic job. They are an absolutely vital part of the industrial relations machinery. I am sure the Minister of State will not disagree with me that in an ideal world we would not need labour inspectors. However, we do not live in an ideal world, so we do need them. They perform a vital function. Just by way of illustration of...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Workplace Relations Commission (25 Mar 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: It is all very well to describe who the inspectors are and what they do. By dint of my former employment, I know well who they are and I know very well what they do.

At that time, the parties to the agreement, that is, the social partners, the employers, the employers' representatives, the workers'...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Amendment) Bill 2020: Discussion (30 Mar 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Chair. I thank all the witnesses for their submissions and contributions. This proposed legislation is sponsored by me. I will not say it close to my heart, but it is a little bit. The Bill, as we know, arose from conversations during April and May last year regarding a request made by ICTU to introduce an amendment to ensure that Covid-19 becomes a notifiable disease. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Amendment) Bill 2020: Discussion (30 Mar 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witness. I ask the same question of the representative from ICTU, Mr. Vaughan.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Amendment) Bill 2020: Discussion (30 Mar 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: Mr. Vaughan is confident that the systems would be in place to be able to determine that. It is not credible to say that the amendment is not required purely and simply because it might place an administrative burden on someone or might be hard to prove, because the systems can be put in place to determine what has happened. We know, for example, that community transmission is a significant...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Amendment) Bill 2020: Discussion (30 Mar 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: It is welcome that Dr. McGuinness is looking at it and towards introducing a fourth source of information, which is very important. If a fourth source of information is being contemplated, it is because it is necessary. The issues around administrative burden, etc., will apply in the circumstances where a fourth set of information is introduced. That is not a good enough reason not to...

Louise O'Reilly: This legislation has been in contemplation for several months, I think since before the RIA was instigated. Notwithstanding that, I believe there is value in this debate, and I thank everyone for participating this morning and in using this to move forward. This was something that was raised by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions with the Minister a year ago. It has been raised again and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Amendment) Bill 2020: Discussion (30 Mar 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: It used to be, but the regulations were changed in 2016. I cannot remember the exact wording that was removed because I am after putting my notes out of sequence. It is not currently, however, and that is why. The other issue is that-----
