Joanna Tuffy (Labour)

I move amendment No. 21:

In page 20, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following new paragraph:

"(a) by the definition of subsection (2),".

In this amendment we are deleting the provision that a discriminatory dismissal goes to the Labour Court and not the Equality Tribunal. There is a groundswell of opinion that the tribunal should have jurisdiction. I would like to hear the Minister of State's comments on that.
