Industrial Relations (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage (18 Oct 2018)

Pat Breen: ...procedures. The fact that they were part of the working group should be noted and that they know what has happened here. Deputy Louise O'Reilly raised the question as to whether the legislation allowed gardaí go on strike. The answer is "No". In Ireland there is no general right for any worker to strike, but trade unions are protected from the consequences of deciding to take...

Industrial Relations (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage (18 Oct 2018)

Tommy Broughan: ...opportunity to speak briefly on the Industrial Relations (Amendment) Bill 2018. This Bill is the result of a number of events that led to the Government finally promising legislation to allow An Garda Síochána to have access to the industrial relations machinery of the State, namely, the Workplace Relations Commission, WRC, and the Labour Court.

Industrial Relations (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage (18 Oct 2018)

Jan O'Sullivan: ...the Labour Party will support the Bill, I also believe it could have gone further. I refer to the EuroCOP v. Ireland ruling which, as we understand, recommended full trade union rights for the Garda Síochána in Ireland and in other parts of Europe as well.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach as an deis a thabhairt dom labhairt ar an mBille seo. This Bill deals mainly with An Garda Síochána. I do not know whether the Minister of State is aware that Deputy Cullinane and I introduced a Bill in this House in April 2017 that would have allowed members of the Defence Forces and An Garda Síochána to be classified as...

Billy Kelleher: ...entitled to protest freely and wilfully and in a peaceful manner, in fact this is a sign of a healthy democracy, but of course one organisation that is equally obliged to maintain the peace is An Garda Síochána. If members of An Garda Síochána were equally involved in these protests, there would have been a very difficult position to address in the event of them...

Industrial Relations (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage (18 Oct 2018)

Pat Breen: ...) Bill 2018 to the House. The legislation is being brought forward because of a commitment given by the Government to remove the legislative prohibition on allowing full access for members of An Garda Siochána to the workplace dispute resolution bodies in the State, namely, the Workplace Relations Commission, WRC, and the Labour Court.
