258. To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation further to Parliamentary Question No. 211 of 3 November 2016 and given that a dialogue process is under way with ICTU and IBEC to secure broad agreement before proposals are finalised in the area of zero- and low-hour contracts, the total number of meetings she has had to date with each of these social partners; the number of future meetings planned; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

In addition to receiving written submissions as part of the public consultation process and subsequently, my officials have met with the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) on 3 October and 3 November last, to hear their views on the draft proposals on the University of Limerick Study on the Prevalence of Zero Hours Contracts among Irish Employers and their impact on Employees. Similar meetings were held with the Irish Business and Employers Confederation (Ibec) on 4 October and 7 November last. This constructive engagement is being progressed as expeditiously as possible.

It is envisaged that further meetings will be held in the coming weeks.
