Protection of Employees (Fixed-Term Work) Bill 2003 [ Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil ] : Report and Final Stages.
In the Dáil I was pressed to give examples of what might constitute such objective grounds. It would be wrong for me to try to do so as I would be pre-empting any cases that might arise in the future. What might be legitimate objective grounds in one case may not be so in another. The Office of the Parliamentary Counsel has advised that it would not be appropriate to draw up a list which could very quickly require updating in the light of case law.
