Mr. Martin:

This issue was discussed at considerable length in the Dáil. The mechanisms and processes of the legislation referred to are inappropriate for employment permit appeals, for which we have defined arrangements in sections 13 and 17 of the Bill. If a work permit is refused, an appeal mechanism exists for redress. Redress for whistleblowers and complainants is also covered in the Bill. The Redundancy Payment Acts have no relevance to the work permit situation.
