Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Despite some interests wanting it, I have no intention of using this to put barriers in the way of workers. I can bring to the Oireachtas committee the regulations on the provision for the fee for those who fail to turn up. I am giving myself a general power because we do not know what other practices might arise that would interfere with people's proper use of the legislation.
