Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

This proposed amendment is purely technical and relates to an amendment to section 8 that deals with collective agreements. The reason for this amendment is that section 8(1) allows for a body or bodies representative of employees to agree a collective agreement. The language of section 8(4)(c) refers only to body in the singular, that is, it describes the body that negotiated the agreement. This amendment ensures this section is aligned with section 8(1) by also covering the plural version.
