Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Disputes (9 Sep 2020)

Imelda Munster: Given what we outlined about the company's clear attempts at union busting and to erode any long-standing collective agreement, I would have thought the Minister of State's first gut instinct would be to say we must protect workers' rights in this State and that he would certainly write to the company to ask it to engage with the State apparatus that is in place to resolve these disputes,...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Disputes (9 Sep 2020)

Imelda Munster: It will take nothing out of him. Will he write to the company in the interest of workers' rights and out of respect for the WRC, the State apparatus, the long and hard-fought battle for workers rights' and the long-standing collective agreement in place?

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Disputes (9 Sep 2020)

Criminal Justice (Enforcement Powers) (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Second Stage (2 Sep 2020)

Imelda Munster: The Government's handling of the reopening of pubs has been a shambles from start to finish. Pub owners and vintners feel that they have been abandoned by this Government.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Jul 2020)

Imelda Munster: The urgency and need for supports was flagged well in advance of the Government’s July stimulus package. It has had ample time to deal with this and most of the operators feel that what the Government has come out with has completely ignored them. Will the Taoiseach outline exactly what he proposes, given the dire financial situation they are in? The financial situation of the...
