Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2011: Committee and Remaining Stages
3:00 pm
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh (Sinn Fein)
I thank the Minister for her comprehensive reply. Even if there is very little evidence that this is happening, there is evidence of it. That is the reason we proposed the amendment to protect those few people concerned, especially in the current difficult economic scenario. It would act as a deterrent to employers who are not fully scrupulous and who might try to exploit people in various ways and means. It would not take from the Bill in any sense but it would copperfasten the position and act as a deterrent to those employers who might think of going down this route in future.
