In 2005, the Labour Relations Commission commissioned the University of Limerick to carry out a review of the joint labour committee system. Arising from the review and its bilateral consultations with the social partners and stakeholders, the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment has prepared a paper to be used as the basis for the implementation of the review, in further consultation with the social partners and stakeholders and in the context of the current partnership talks. The issue of a joint labour committee for domestic workers will be considered in this context.
