The Government's second amendment to section 13 of the Bill – introducing a new subsection (d) – is a significant addition. The purpose of the amendment is to prohibit the dismissal of a fixed-term employee wholly or partly for the purpose of avoiding his or her contract being deemed to be one of indefinite duration under section 9(3). The text of the rest of section 13(1)(a), (b) and (c) is the same as in the text of the Bill passed by the Seanad. This amendment, by allowing an employee to take a complaint to a rights commissioner, aims at preventing an employer from dismissing a fixed-term employee by not renewing his or her contract in order, wholly or partly, to avoid that employee becoming permanent under a contract of indefinite duration under section 9(3) of the Bill. A minor textual amendment to section 19 of the Bill correcting a typing error was also adopted by the Dáil.
