Joe O'Toole (Independent)

I move amendment No. 2:

In page 6, subsection (1), line 2 after "writing" to insert ", including a contract of employment with an employment agency.".

There are two issues here. The Minister of State will understand that I am talking about people who have a contract of employment with an employment agency for a period. If such a person wishes to be protected by this legislation, there is no reason why that should not be allowed. Perhaps it is a matter with which the Minister of State proposes to deal, but I cannot see any reason somebody working for an employment agency should be treated any differently from somebody working for an auctioneer or for anybody else.
