I strongly urge him to check on the Government's obligations under the convention because they are onerous, and with very good reason. The...

Richard Boyd Barrett: Many thousands of people swim in Dublin Bay every day, particularly during the summer. Even during the winter very hardy souls swim. The numbers are growing all the time.

The Minister of State is aware they went through an incredible struggle, undertaking 406 days of strike action to try to vindicate their rights. Under a collective redundancy agreement that had been agreed with Debenhams,...
