Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)

Richard Bruton: Will the employer, that is, the former sole trader who was the employer, be notified that this happened?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)

Richard Bruton: Could an employer who discovers that they cannot pay, but wants to process the thing, trigger this process which would be private and only between themselves and their employee, instead of having it the other way around, where the employee has to trigger this? As Deputy O'Reilly said, there is something of a burden in that and there is probably a psychological issue for people. Could an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)

Richard Bruton: Are many of these are statutory entitlements, such as holiday pay?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)

Richard Bruton: The Department is still requiring an application process and it is not allowing the employer to trigger this process where they recognise the statutory entitlements of their worker but are just not in a position to meet them at that moment. Would it be possible to consider that by way of amendment?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)

Richard Bruton: Does Ms Breathnach mean that everything is paid up with sole traders?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2024 (23 Oct 2024)

Richard Bruton: I just thought that it would not be that unusual for an employee to be left without something, if a business had to close its doors. It would be worth it for the Department to check that out with some of the well-known stakeholders who might have knowledge of these things.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Róisín Shortall: I will have to leave shortly to go to the Chamber as well. I find it hard to understand how we get to a point where the cardiac strategy is five years out of date and we are only now talking about a new strategy. When was the Nolan report completed?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Róisín Shortall: In that case, it was completed nearly two years ago. What kind of engagement has the Irish Cardiac Society had with the Department of Health, the Minister or anybody at a senior level in the HSE on a new strategy?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Róisín Shortall: Is Professor McAdam saying we would be required to have a national strategy under development at European level?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Róisín Shortall: The likelihood is, even if there is cognisance taken of European developments, that we are talking about developing a new strategy, which would likely take some time.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Róisín Shortall: That issue will not change quickly, unfortunately. We have been looking for the health strategy to be implemented for a long time. Regarding the recent session in Budapest, given the importance of cardiovascular disease and the fact it is the second biggest contributor to mortality, it strikes me, and it is disappointing, that the senior Minister was not there. That is just a comment. ...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Róisín Shortall: Yes, but what is the split?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Róisín Shortall: I would also add in the commercial determinants of health. We have been doing a lot of work on that and issues related to drinking, smoking, fast food and all of that. There are big commercial pressures brought to bear on government related to that. I think the area of commercial determinants should be included in that because there is those big industries have considerable access to...
