Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Employment Strategy and Impact on Disabled Persons in the Workplace: Discussion (22 Feb 2023)

Paul Gavan: The general comment I will make, having heard directly from some of these workers, is that it is incredibly hurtful to be denied redundancy people are entitled to. Important companies doing important work like Rehab – and it does wonderful work – have to respect the decisions of the Labour Court. It is entirely unacceptable that a Labour Court decision has been sitting there...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Employment Strategy and Impact on Disabled Persons in the Workplace: Discussion (22 Feb 2023)

Paul Gavan: The reality is, in one worker’s case, instead of getting €60,000 he got €20,000. There is huge hurt over this issue. I will not pursue it further, Chair, but it will not go away. The Seanad will take a vote on the issue next week and I expect full support from every Member for calling on Rehab to accept the Labour Court recommendation and pay the workers what they are due.

Ms McDonnell said: "It is now time to address this critical human rights issue and hold our heads high, along with our European counterparts.” I could not agree more with that point,...

Paul Gavan: I raise again University Hospital Limerick. We welcomed the Taoiseach there on Friday.

That gives a grand total of 2,320 patients on trolleys from the beginning of the year. The statistics do not tell of the pain and hurt of all...

Paul Gavan: I extend a warm welcome to the ambassador of Lithuania not only on my own behalf but also on behalf of my colleagues in Sinn Féin.
