- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: It is nice to see Ms Breathnach again and I thank Mr. Hogan and Mr. Byrne for being here. I congratulate them on the work they have done on this. As they said, it is quite complex. It is very technical. We have to get our heads around it. The submissions we have received from the various interest groups have been positive in the main. One issue has come up in head 5 and that is to do...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: Ms Breathnach may be aware that SIPTU also has another issue with respect to the cap itself. It maintains that it disproportionally impacts people on higher wages. I am not sure whether she is aware of that or seen that calculation. Can she comment on that? What are her views in this regard?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: IBEC is concerned about the uncertainty of whether an individual is an employee and how that can be proved. There are certain provisions in the legislation that will require an employee to provide evidence. Can Ms Breathnach comment on that? That is one of the only concerns IBEC had.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: Can Ms Breathnach give us an indication of the envisaged budget for this?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: Another consideration SIPTU had concerned the time limit for the historical employer-deemed insolvent application. It recommends extending the time limit to six years. Does Ms Breathnach have a view on that? Has she seen that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: Maybe a compromise can be reached in this regard. The current time limit proposed is two years, is it not?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: Maybe a compromise can be reached to extend it to three or four years. How many employees does Ms Breathnach envisage will be impacted and benefit from this new measure per annum?

Maurice Quinlivan: That is fine and I call Deputy Stanton.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: I want to get back to the €600 cap. I have seen some stuff from SIPTU, for instance, where it talks about awards from the Workplace Relations Commission, WRC, or the Labour Court. It reckons that the reason the salary cap awards are disproportionate compared to other such awards is that when one applies for the awards, it is because it was not the intention of the Act that it would...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: I thank Ms Breathnach and the Cathaoirleach.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)
Maurice Quinlivan: Does anybody else wish to make a contribution? No. That concludes our consideration of this matter today. I thank the witnesses for assisting the committee in the consideration of this important matter. That concludes our business in public session. I propose that we go into private session to consider other business. Is that agreed? Agreed.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Medicinal Products (23 Oct 2024)
Colm Burke: More than 2,000 people participated in overdose awareness and naloxone administration training in 2023. The work is ongoing in relation to having more people trained in its administration. Regarding availability, more than 6,000 units were given out last year, with 4,000 units distributed by July of this year. It is available where we believe there is a need for it. The international...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (23 Oct 2024)
Alan Kelly: There was a recent meeting of councillors from the Nenagh municipal district with the new Garda superintendent. The cross-party group of councillors came out of the meeting pretty shocked because he more or less admitted that he did not have the resources in the Tipperary-Clare division to meet the requirements of the area. He was pretty matter-of-fact about it. He has to be admired for...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (23 Oct 2024)
Joe O'Brien: I thank the Deputy for raising this matter in the House. I convey the apologies of my colleague, the Minster for Justice, Deputy McEntee, who regrets she cannot be here for this matter due to another commitment. As the Deputy will be aware, by law, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution of Garda members and resources between the various Garda stations and divisions....
