Harbours (Amendment) Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed)
3:00 pm
Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail)
The Minister of State explained the matter, but we should refresh our memories. Will the Minister of State outline what information is required on the employees expected to be working at the end of an accounting year? The second paragraph states: "more than 30 of its current full time employees are likely to continue to be so employed full time under contracts of service during the accounting year following that to which the accounts relate". This provision seems to apply to the large port companies. Business fluctuates from time to time, as shown in Waterford, for example, where Bell Line collapsed some years ago.
