Mary White (Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 33:

In page 8, subsection (1), line 1, to delete "An agreement" and substitute "Agreements".

I propose that the word "agreement" be changed to "agreements". As it stands, the Bill does not make clear whether a suitable arrangement within an employment could consist of separate agreements to cater for diverse groups such as unionised or non-unionised workers in order that there could be collective arrangements or direct arrangements within a company. We must include the term "agreements". The amendment to paragraph 8(2)(d) proposes to change the wording to "applicable to all employees covered by that agreement". It would be important to do that. Perhaps Senator Quinn will discuss the remaining amendments.
