I move amendment No. 5:



In page 14, after line 38, to insert the following:"(c) hours of work;".
This was the amendment that the Mandate trade union asked us to include. It is to ensure that not only rates of pay, but also hours of work, would be looked at when forming REAs. That might go some way towards addressing what happened in Dunnes Stores and what happens in other companies where there is a prevalence of low-hour contracts. Its purpose is to insert the words "hours of work".
