Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I will ask a couple of questions after making an observation. I tabled a number of amendments that have been ruled out of order. Amendment No. 39 would have transposed into this Bill the Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020, which was sponsored by Deputy McDonald and me. The Bill was not opposed by the Government, so I do not understand why my amendment has been...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: That answers my question. There will be two tiers of staff and it will be a bit upstairs-downstairs in the public service after the enactment. Deputy Sherlock referred to a list of reasons a person might be availing of this leave. This is something I want to put to bed and I am assuming that the Minister will be in a position to do that today. The reasons they might be availing of this...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: It will be just that the leave is to be taken. Can I ask about the list, which I do not have in front of me because I left it upstairs? Is it the case that the list that contains the reasons is a non-exhaustive list, that is just an example and that it is not intended to be for any of these reasons?

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: That is okay. With regard to the normal daily rate of pay, and this is something we had considered at the Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment, the question is always about whether premiums are included and about what constitutes a normal rate of pay. I am assuming it will be similar to how one would calculate a bank holiday entitlement, which is on a pro ratabasis, and that it...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Unless it is confirmation from the Minister and Government that every person who takes unpaid leave for any reason is in fact replaced in the civil and public service. They are not.

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: They are really not. Anyone who deals with the public service, as the Minister does, knows they are not. It is not a matter of routine that they are replaced.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Industrial Relations (27 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I join the Deputy in urging the Government to take action on this as quickly as possible. It is not all vessels and it is not all employers. Where it happens, however, it is awful. We have people working 17 hours a day in unconscionably awful conditions. They are extremely vulnerable. These are migrant workers. It is already tough for workers who work on land and who might have...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Industrial Relations (27 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: We need to move quickly on this. As the Tánaiste stated, trade union density is at a low level and that means protection for workers is at a low level because the two things are interlinked. An issue that is not expressly related to this but on which the Tánaiste and I have corresponded previously is that agencies that are funded by the Government are also ignoring Labour Court...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Industrial Relations (27 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: The Tánaiste will have received the recommendations made by the high-level group on collective bargaining and industrial relations. Has preparatory work begun to incorporate these recommendations into legislation given that, as we know, the European Council has given the green light to the EU directive on adequate minimum wages and collective bargaining on 4 October?

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Industrial Relations (27 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I want to join with the Tánaiste in thanking the members of the group. I want to particularly thank Patricia King, the outgoing general secretary of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, a former colleague and, indeed, a very good friend of mine. I wish her well in her retirement. I also wish Owen Reidy, the incoming general secretary, well. He has much work to do. The...
