Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence: Motion [Private Members] (10 Jul 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I commend the Deputies on moving this motion this morning. Indeed, it is a mirror of motions we have discussed here many times. As the Minister will know, we discuss motions with similar wording year after year. This entails the same plea from the Opposition falling, it would appear, on the Government's deaf ears. There is very little evidence of a zero-tolerance approach. We can all...

Louise O'Reilly: I thank our witnesses for their contributions. We had a private session beforehand in which we considered the elements of the National Minimum Wage (Equal Pay for Young Workers) Bill 2022. It was mentioned, and I think it bears being repeated in public, that much of the discussion we are having now about this subject directly mirrors that same kind of discussion that was had about equal pay...

Louise O'Reilly: Are they subject to the same disciplinary procedures, codes of conduct, codes of practice, etc? Is it the case that there is no derogation for them in this regard and they do not get 90% of a penalty or have 80% or 90% of the rules applied to them? Is it the case that they are subject to 100% of the rules, 100% of the expectations concerning the work and 100% of the hours for 80% of the wages?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Mininimum Wage: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Mininimum Wage: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: Is Ms McCabe saying that before there was an increase in the cost of doing business, ISME would have been supportive of this proposed legislation?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Mininimum Wage: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: No, I am absolutely sticking to the facts, but I do think it is a bit of a stretch to take statistics from a sector and then automatically associate them with the number of youth workers employed in the sector. I ask Dr. Redmond to comment on this point.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Mininimum Wage: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I am sorry; I have to go, a Chathaoirligh. People get inducted at every age. A person could be out of the workforce for a long time and come back to do an induction at the age of 50. I am just not sure that argument cuts it. I am eating into my colleagues’ time, however. I have to go and speak in the Dáil Chamber, but I hope to come back.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Mininimum Wage: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: There is obviously a correlation, then, between joining your trade union and improving your rate of pay, which I suppose bears repeating here.
