Protection of Employees (Temporary Agency Work) Bill 2011: Committee Stage
11:00 am
Feargal Quinn (Independent)
I really believe a mistake has been made for two reasons. First, this is shaky legislation which will end up in court. There is a danger that the Attorney General has decided to take a decision "on balance" - the phrase she used. This is very dangerous legislation on which to do so. I had the experience in 1971 - probably before the Minister of State was born - of ending up in the Supreme Court in a case which I won on a four to one judgment. I was only a young fellow at the time, or at least I thought so-----
