Private Security Services Bill 2001: Report and Final Stages.
12:00 pm
Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)
I move amendment No. 1:
In page 7, lines 24 to 26, to delete all words from and including "but" to "service".
I thank the Cathaoirleach for his ruling which allows me to re-table this amendment. Due to leaving the Chamber for a few seconds yesterday I was unable to move it on Committee Stage.
I received an explanation yesterday from a member of the Minister's staff but I wanted to move the amendment to clarify the issue. This amendment is in the interest of ensuring that we are precise about the definition of a supervisor and the remuneration that person would get for his or her work. I want to ensure that the remuneration of a door supervisor would not include drink for the night or take-home drink. Remuneration should be confined to pay or, at the end of the night, refreshment in the form of a drink. However, a person should not be supplied with drink for the night while on duty.
