Redundancy Payments Bill 2003: Second Stage.
I noted the Minister carefully set out the phased basis on which the Bill will come into operation. I have seldom heard a Minister, in a Second Stage speech, outline in such detail the progressive implementation of a Bill – I appreciate the fact that Senator O'Toole welcomed it given his involvement. It appeared to be an effort by the Minister to cover her tracks with regard to the undertakings allegedly given in the case of the workers in Kilkenny referred to. This would be unfortunate if it was the case.
