Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (19 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I suppose the job for us is to marry up the carrot and the stick, if one likes. We can operate from the assumption that most companies want to have a reputation for being decent and treating their workers well. Nobody wants to wear clothes that have been made by children in sweat shops. However, that will not be enough in terms of persuading people. There will have to be some form of very...

Domestic Electricity and Gas Disconnections: Motion [Private Members] (18 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank my colleague, an Teachta O'Rourke, not just for the important motion, but for all of the work he is doing.

National Tourism Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (18 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute on the Bill.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Workers in the security industry have not had a pay rise since 2019. In August, and for the second time, a small number of employers in the industry have secured an injunction against the employment regulation order, ERO. Can the Taoiseach confirm that this ERO will be challenged by the Government? Can he also give us an indication as to when these workers are going to receive the pay rise...

Louise O'Reilly: I thank our guests and thank my colleague Deputy Ward, who has facilitated my having some time to speak. To be clear, we are not here to discuss the Government legislation. I have not seen the amendments yet, in any event. We are here to discuss what is substantially the only piece of legislation that exists that will achieve the aim. I do not think there is any disagreement from anyone...

Louise O'Reilly: I agree and that is why it is not contained within the legislation sponsored by myself and our party president, Deputy McDonald.

We are talking about slashing the ten days to five because of an announcement made by Government but...

Louise O'Reilly: The Department would see that as applying to the civil and public service as equally as to the private sector. I understand how it works as I have a small amount of experience with it. If the statutory minimum – I understand what that is and how that works – comes in at five days, there is slightly more than a convention within the civil and public service that there would not...
