Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Legislative Measures (10 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: 1. To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he is campaigning within Government for the ratification of the international labour convention No. 190, on eliminating violence and harassment in the world of work; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6894/22]

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Legislative Measures (10 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: The question is a fairly straightforward one. I would like an update on the work being done to adopt and ratify labour convention No. 190. It sounds fairly innocuous but as the Tánaiste and I know, a lot comes from it. I ask for an update on the work currently ongoing in his Department. Specifically, is he pushing for ratification of the convention? I seek an understanding of what...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Legislative Measures (10 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Tánaiste for that update. Ten states have already moved ahead of us but it would be good to provide leadership on this. The update is very welcome. The Tánaiste said that our national law has to be in line before the convention can be ratified. I fully appreciate that. One of the important aspects of this convention is that states would be required to put in place...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Legislative Measures (10 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: That might be the mechanism and my legislation might also be the mechanism. We have had a lot of engagement on the floor of the Dáil on the need to take swift action in the area of gender-based violence. This is a fundamental piece of legislation. As a workplace representative, I have seen people - usually women but not always - in this situation. Enacting my Bill would be in line...

Competition (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (9 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for the opportunity to speak on this legislation. This is comprehensive and complex legislation which transposes an EU directive, while also making additional changes to benefit the national competition authorities, namely, the CCPC and ComReg. The CCPC is the primary enforcement body for competition law in this State. It has the power to play an enormous role...

National Minimum Wage: Motion [Private Members] (9 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Was the Government not a bit concerned when it was giving an €81,000 pay hike to Robert Watt of the potential for a knock-on consequential claim out of that? Was it happy it could ring-fence it and just do it for one person? The Government was not one bit concerned about the impact that was going to have on wages. In fact, unfettered, the man seems to be granted endless pay rises....

National Minimum Wage: Motion [Private Members] (9 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 1: To insert the following after "real cost of living": "— produce a roadmap to deliver a living wage within a strict timeframe.". I am sharing time with colleagues. I thank the Deputies who brought this motion to the floor of the Dáil this morning. It is very important. Before I address the substance of the motion, I want to make clear that the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Working Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (9 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses for appearing before us. I am very heartened to know I am not the only person who says remote workly when I mean work remotely. It is an easy mistake to make but I am glad I am not alone in occasionally getting that confused. Mr. Mulligan said the Department is looking at strengthening the right to appeal. I really welcome that. There is no point in us pretending...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Working Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (9 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome that the Department is open to looking at it. We only have to look across the water to see how the legislation is working in Britain. It is reviewing it on the basis that the eight grounds there represent a situation whereby all someone has the right to is to be in a bad mood about not having a request for remote working granted. To be honest this is what is most disappointing....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Working Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (9 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Does Mr. Mulligan not see that by not giving the worker a right to test what the employer is saying, it is very much tilted in favour of the employer? It is the equivalent of what your Ma would have said to you years ago: "Just because I said so". This is effectively what it is. Let us be honest, it is regrettable we are at the stage where something that is so desperately needed by workers...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Working Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (9 Feb 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: It is not in any way clear from the legislation that it is referencing Spain or anywhere outside the jurisdiction. It relates to some sort of a unspecified distance requirement. The Department does see the difficulty with this. Workers could be working from just down the road. They could be working in the next building. They could live in the next building and choose to work remotely for...
