A Bill entitled the "Protection of Employees (Temporary Agency Work) Bill, 2011" designed to give effect to the EU Directive on Temporary Agency Work, completed passage in the Dáil in mid-February, 2012 and completed all stages in the Seanad on 27 April 2012. The Bill will be returned to the Dail on 9 May for consideration of Seanad amendments and, assuming final passage in both Houses, the Bill will be sent to the President for signature thereafter. I can assure the Deputy that the Bill is a priority Bill for my Department and I expect that the Bill will be enacted by mid-May, 2012.
