Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Report and Final Stages (12 Nov 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: The other group comprises individuals who have had their rights taken away from them. Yet, were one to flip those timescales, there would be a logic to it. However, the timescales are shorter for those who have suffered. Moreover, there is conflation with regard to many different aspects of legislation. The figure used for fines in this process is a figure used in fines for driving...

Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Report and Final Stages (12 Nov 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: The direction the Chair has given us regarding why our amendments have been deemed to be out of order is not the same as the direction we received from the Chairman of the Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation when we considered this Bill on Committee Stage. Indeed, at the start of that debate we were directed to identify any amendments that we intended to propose on Report...

Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Instruction to Committee (12 Nov 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: 11 o’clock Before dealing with the content of the motion, it would be wrong for me not to highlight the terrible manner in which this legislation is being put through. Despite the lengthy consultative period and nearly €200,000 being spent on professional fees, the Department and the Minister of State's colleagues have undermined the work by hammering the Bill through the...

Ms King alluded to the fact that the lack of collective bargaining has left us with a massive problem. The result of this has been the collapse of the previous system and we are now trying to build the complex...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: Respectfully, if the Minister had made that statement, I would have said that it expressed an opinion that recognition of a union should not be made mandatory in this particular system. I understand it is linked to the wider collective bargaining issue, which is important as people have the right to association and to have people they choose represent them. I am aware there is a problem...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Committee Stage (6 Nov 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: We oppose section 69 and we also oppose this new section. While the present Minister might have good intent, and makes a logical argument for an application of a fee to prevent people skipping the first part of the process, the regulations mean it will be in the hands of future Ministers and there is the possibility a future Minister could be inequitable in his or her application of a fee....

It may...
