Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Companies (Protection of Employees' Rights in Liquidations) Bill 2021: Discussion (6 Jul 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses. I will begin by taking a small amount of time to pay tribute to the Debenhams workers who have now spent more than 400 days on the picket line. They were not doing that for nothing. I am sure they want to see a proportionate response as a result of what they have gone through. Sinn Féin supports this legislation. We want to see it finalised and enacted. As...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Companies (Protection of Employees' Rights in Liquidations) Bill 2021: Discussion (6 Jul 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Not every redundancy situation is the same. Not every worker facing redundancy is in the same situation as others who are facing redundancy. It is not that this would create a different class of person to be made redundant. Many workers in the State are not unionised and do not have an enhanced redundancy arrangement. Effectively, there are differences between workers. It is worth...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Companies (Protection of Employees' Rights in Liquidations) Bill 2021: Discussion (6 Jul 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I apologise for cutting across Ms McElwee, but I have limited time. As she said that this would be a disproportionate and misguided response, I asked specifically what would be a proportionate and well-guided response to the Debenhams situation? She specifically referenced that in her submission. She has characterised this legislation as being disproportionate and misguided. What...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Companies (Protection of Employees' Rights in Liquidations) Bill 2021: Discussion (6 Jul 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: In what way would Ms McElwee like to see the legislation changed? I know she is happy with the existing level of statutory redundancy, and she has made a comparison there. The Bill is a response not just to what happened with Debenhams, but also to the fact that this it had happened in a number of instances that were not all exactly the same. We all want something to be fair and equitable,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Companies (Protection of Employees' Rights in Liquidations) Bill 2021: Discussion (6 Jul 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: As Ms McElwee says, many employers do not, but those employers who do need the law to tell them what to do. Many employers are grand. They negotiate with their workers and honour agreements. That is fine. We do not need to legislate for those. We need to legislate for a situation where hundreds, if not thousands, of workers were left high and dry and on the picket line for 400 days....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Companies (Protection of Employees' Rights in Liquidations) Bill 2021: Discussion (6 Jul 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Companies (Protection of Employees' Rights in Liquidations) Bill 2021: Discussion (6 Jul 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: If Ms McElwee does not think there is an issue and that what happened to the Debenhams workers could not happen again or, if it did, that would be fine, that is one thing. I do not think we as legislators, should, stand over a gap in the legislation that allows workers to be treated in the way the Debenhams workers were treated. It behoves us, as legislators, to ensure we tighten up those...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Companies (Protection of Employees' Rights in Liquidations) Bill 2021: Discussion (6 Jul 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: That underlines the need for this legislation. The legislation is needed in order to give the ability to shore up the position in circumstances where there is no one with whom to negotiate.

Back to School Costs: Motion [Private Members] (5 Jul 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank my colleague, an Teachta Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire, for all his work in this area. I thank him principally for listening to parents who are really worried about not being able to cope as their kids go back to school. These are real worries and as September comes, people start to worry more. An Teachta Ó Laoghaire has done more than just listen. He has learned from those...

There is no need for any member of the Government to engage in further consultation, as...
