Select Committee on Social Protection: Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (17 May 2018)

Clare Daly: We can choose to take different options. I know that I am not a member of the committee, but I would be inclined to bag the result now. If we want to tweak the amendment later and work with the Minister to change the wording before Report Stage, that would be another way to do the same thing. That would be my instinct. However, this is so important that I would be inclined to have the...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (17 May 2018)

Clare Daly: That is how it would operate. Most sensible employers would operate the system because it would benefit them as much as it would their employees.

That is what...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (17 May 2018)

Clare Daly: Generally speaking, the provision would be objected to if someone had a problem with it. If my boss came in to ask the three of us about it and I did not really care anyway, I would not make a complaint about it. I am not going to decide to go to the Workplace Relations Commission the first time it happens because I am sick of it. Instead, I would make the point to my boss that he is...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (17 May 2018)

Clare Daly: The superiority of amendment No. 39 is linked to three things. It eliminates the gaps that exist in the others, it starts with the premise of three hours, which is totally in line with the recommendations of the University of Limerick as a minimum that anyone should get, and it deals with the fact that the gaps in the Government's bands are way too big. The Minister is effectively allowing...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (17 May 2018)
