The bottom line of this Bill is that we want to deliver a world class workplace relations service designed around structures and processes that will have a positive impact on our competitiveness and create more employment. It would be remiss of me, however, not to support what Senator Cullinane has said about the Dunnes Stores industrial relations, which is appalling and is the opposite of what this Bill is trying to achieve. It is archaic and backward. I am shocked that a company of that size would treat its employees in this awful way with short-term or low-pay contracts.
