I move amendment No. 16:

In page 7, line 1, to delete "nominee" and substitute "a nominated officer".

I am merely repeating the point made earlier with regard to the trigger mechanism, so that it can avert any mischievous action by a non-representative minority, and is therefore more representative of larger companies.

My concern is that in this area, one crank could delay everything. If an employer employs a large number of people, there is always one crank somewhere along the line. We all know such people exist. That is why we made the argument for a minimum requirement of 15% of employees in the undertaking. The case was well made and I am interested to hear if the Minister for State has reconsidered.
