Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Disputes (16 Feb 2017)

I urge her and other Ministers to support the Industrial Relations (Right to Access) (Amendment) Bill when it comes before...

Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Disputes (16 Feb 2017)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: As we know, Tesco workers began industrial action on Tuesday, which was St. Valentine's Day. It was not for the fun of it; rather, it was to ensure that their employer would honour the workers' terms and conditions. In this day and age it is an absolute disgrace that they would have to do so and that proper workers' rights are not enshrined in legislation to protect them and their terms and...

Other Questions: Air Corps Equipment (15 Feb 2017)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: 44. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the reason the military authorities did not act on foot of the first Health and Safety Authority report into the handling of dangerous and carcinogenic materials by Air Corps personnel without the appropriate protective clothing, adequate training or basic equipment, instead of waiting for the final report, thus prolonging the exposure of...

Other Questions: Air Corps Equipment (15 Feb 2017)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I welcome the clarification the Minister of State has given on the military authorities' response to the HSA report.

They highlighted the lack of identification for chemicals, the fact that there was cross-contamination of chemicals...

Will the Minister of...
