Margaret Cox (Fianna Fail)

Senator Henry's amendment No. 35 relates to the definition of "special". It is important to ensure that we do not establish the right to a special room. If employers believe they have to provide special facilities in the form of air-conditioned rooms, they will say they cannot do so. Elsewhere in the Bill, a section provides that employers do not have to go to extreme costs. Senator Henry's point makes sense. Facilities do not need to be special. It is important that employers bear that in mind and that the legislation does not preclude anything.
