A very similar amendment was tabled by Senators Quinn, Coghlan and White on Committee Stage and I promised to return on Report Stage. The other amendments arise from the acceptance of amendment No. 3 and have the same effect. This amendment clarifies that employers and employees can agree on more than one information and consultation agreement. This situation tends to arise when there are very different kinds of employment in the one location or, more likely, when a company had several sub-offices. I am advised that the wording of the amendment meets the necessary requirements.
