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 want to pick up on a point made by Senator Gavan regarding the administrative burden. I am not in any way convinced that this will place a massive administrative burden on employers.

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

Louise O'Reilly: A fourth source of information is currently being contemplated. I presume if barriers exist in terms of an additional burden that will be the same if the recommendation comes out. I do not find that argument convincing.

Public Service Pay Bill 2020: Second Stage (Resumed) (31 Mar 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome the opportunity to finally make a contribution to this debate, which has been put back on many occasions, though for good reasons.
