 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] Question again proposed: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." | Vol-965 Book-6 |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] Deputy Bernard Durkan was in possession when the debate adjourned and I understand he has concluded his contribution.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [743] |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] Precarious employment is an extremely important issue and the Government's move in the direction of addressing it is long overdue. Precarious employment is a plague affecting large numbers of workers and one of the most terrible consequences of three decades of neoliberal policy under the g... | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [743] |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] On the face of it, the Government has responded to the lobbying of the trade union movement but in looking at the detail, we can see the Government has diluted the propositions to the point where the Bill will be barely effective at all in many circumstances.
We can give some examples of h... | Vol-965 Book-6 |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] To whom did he complain?[Doherty, Regina] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [745] |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] He complained to the employer. That is the problem. Unless there will be a very proactive move by the authorities, with inspections and raids happening on a much greater level, all the legislation in the world will make no difference. A person is legally entitled to a payslip but workers ... | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [745] |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] We will support the passage of the Bill because anything is better than nothing but I do not believe the suggestion that it will substantially address the plague of precarious employment which is affecting hundreds of thousands of workers. There are too many get-out clauses. It looks to me... | Vol-965 Book-6 |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] Not true.[Doherty, Regina] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [746] |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] It was a kangaroo court. Rhatigan came in lawyered up-----[Barrett, Richard Boyd] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [746] |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] I am sorry but I cannot let the Deputy say that.[Doherty, Regina] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [746] |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] The Deputy is getting into an area that is not appropriate for the floor of the House.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [746] |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] That is the report I got from workers.[Barrett, Richard Boyd] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [746] |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] It is not true.[Doherty, Regina] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [746] |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] We will debate it again but that is the report I got from the workers.[Barrett, Richard Boyd] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [746] |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] I thank the Deputy for his contribution but that area is not appropriate to this debate. I call Deputy Mattie McGrath.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [746] |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] I am pleased to speak on the Industrial Development (Amendment) Bill 2018. I have to declare that I am a long-standing employer although I am an employee as well. Listening to my good friend and colleague, Deputy Boyd Barrett, we are an endangered species. It is not safe to be an employer... | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [746] |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] I must interrupt the Deputy. My apologies.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [747] |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] The injustice.[McGrath, Mattie] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [747] |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] The Deputy is so prodigious in his output, however, that this is his second contribution on the Employment (Miscellaneous) Provisions Bill 2017.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [747] |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] Gabh mo leithscéal.[McGrath, Mattie] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [747] |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] Apparently the Deputy spoke for 20 minutes last evening on it. While we would love to hear him again, Standing Orders do not allow it.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [747] |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] My mistake.[McGrath, Mattie] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [747] |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] Not to worry. There was no harm done. We will move on to Deputy Burton.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [747] |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] I understood Deputy Mattie McGrath was going to speak for a while.[Burton, Joan] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [747] |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] I would have if I was let.[McGrath, Mattie] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [747] |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] I would be happy to hear him speak but the Ceann Comhairle is in charge of the House.[Burton, Joan] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [747] |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] And he is right.[McGrath, Mattie] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [747] |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] The Employment (Miscellaneous) Provisions Bill 2017 is inadequate to address what is one of the most difficult and dreadful developments of our age, which is the continuing expansion and growth of different forms of precarious work. To be perfectly honest, this area is becoming like that of... | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [747] |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] Will the Minister arrange a debate in the House on the report on bogus self-employment? Why is the Government looking this gift horse of €60 million in tax and social welfare receipts in the mouth? It deserves a debate. The Minister made a short comment when the report was released but it... | Vol-965 Book-6 |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] While I welcome the new apprenticeships in finance and insurance, the old model in the construction trade, which is returning to high levels of activity, whereby plasterers and so on used to take on one, two or three apprentices, is no longer available with small employers. Many young peopl... | Vol-965 Book-6 |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] I appreciate the views that have been expressed today and yesterday. They have been useful for me and my officials, and I am looking forward to what will obviously be a humdinger of a debate when we get to Committee Stage.
Everyone inside and outside the House will agree that every worker... | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [750] |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] In some cases they do suit the employee, for example, students working during holiday periods, individuals who need to work around caring responsibilities for children or older people, or semi-retired persons who might only want to work hours that suit them on a flexible basis. We have to..... | Vol-965 Book-6 |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] What if they are vulnerable workers who are afraid?[Barrett, Richard Boyd] | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [754] |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] We need to get past that issue. To that end, I will conduct a very large advertising campaign this year. People should not be afraid. I am not saying the scary examples the Deputy gave are not true, but in that case I need to do more to make sure people are not afraid. The penalisation m... | Vol-965 Book-6 Page [754] |  |
 | 15/02/2018 | [Bills] That is why we are going to pass this Bill. I know the Deputies all want to make amendments to it and that is fine. We can discuss it. The reason for passing this legislation is to make sure that employees are treated with dignity and respect by the people they work for.
Deputies have r... | Vol-965 Book-6 |  |
| 15/02/2018 | [Bills] Question put and agreed to. | Vol-965 Book-6 |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."
I am pleased to have the opportunity to introduce this Bill to the House. It is being brought forward in response to the commitment in A Programme for a Partnership Government to address the problems caused by the increased casualisation ... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [634] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] Section 6 amends section 3 of the 1994 Act to require that an employer must provide employees with a written statement containing the following five core terms of employment within five days of the commencement of employment. They are the full names of the employer and the employee, the add... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] That will make it administratively easier for employers to use the sub-minima rates. It will also limit the application of sub-minima rates for employees, which is a positive outcome for all parties. I trust that this amendment, as recommended by the Low Pay Commission, will be supported b... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I welcome the introduction of the Bill. One of the fundamental cornerstones of the profit theory is the higher the risk, the greater the reward. In other words, a person who risks his or her money in a highly volatile investment usually expects a greater reward as a result of taking a grea... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [639] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] The normal budgetary cycle in which people prepare their accounts, tax returns, etc. and plan their budgets is 12 months. The Minister mentioned the need to account for seasonal adjustments. One 12-month period contains all the seasons. One does not have to go past a 12-month period to me... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] It is against the law.[Doherty, Regina] | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [642] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] Employers are getting away with virtually eliminating all the other rights which, as I have said, have been built up painstakingly over decades. A simple expedient like that could mean that the Bill is worthless. I know that Deputy Mick Barry has a Bill to deal with this phenomenon. I hav... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [642] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I am not naive. I know that legislation could not be devised tomorrow that would have the powers of a time machine to take people into the past where employment was more secure and people could work all their lives and finish up with a defined benefit pension. Everything has a context and ... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I am sharing time with Deputy David Cullinane.[Brady, John] | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [643] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] Is that agreed? Agreed.[An Leas-Cheann Comhairle] | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [643] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] On more than one occasion, the Minister, Deputy Regina Doherty, has told us that zero-hour contracts are not prevalent in Ireland. What then does the Minister call a situation where part-time workers have no security of hours from one week to the next and where they are expected to work at ... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [643] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] The Minister has named numerous organisations that she has consulted, but she has not genuinely listened to them. If she had, she would have taken on board all of their views and concerns and ensured they were addressed in the Bill. | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] It is welcome that we are at least having a discussion on the Bill that will go some way towards addressing the issues arising from low-hour contracts and low-paid jobs. As An Teachta John Brady said, I sat where he is sitting almost a year ago and proposed a Bill that would have gone much ... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [644] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] If that is the outcome of this process and the Minister is in the business of working with us and accepting amendments, we can get to a point where we will have a Bill that will be fit for purpose and do exactly what it should do. My party is committed to doing that, notwithstanding the fie... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] On behalf of the Labour Party, I welcome the opportunity to contribute on Second Stage of the Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017. Like the Minister, I acknowledge the commitment, drive and focus of my colleague, Senator Gerald Nash, who, when he was Minister of State at the Dep... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [646] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] As Deputy David Cullinane said, the vast bulk of employers are honourable decent people who want to do the best by their employees. Of course, employment is a two-way relationship and there is mutual recognition of one another's rights, obligations and responsibilities. Such relationships.... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] As Deputy Mick Barry stated, people are turning up for work on a Monday morning only to be told they are self-employed, which means that they no longer have rights and must pay their own tax, insurance and so on. This is a disguised form of employment because they are still effectively empl... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] In theory, I should wholeheartedly welcome and support the Bill because it claims to improve the lot of vulnerable, low paid workers who are grossly exploited by unscrupulous employers. Tens of thousands of workers are not informed of their terms and conditions, their hours are not notified... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [651] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] It is the sort of behaviour in which employers will increasingly engage. We see it in the construction industry which has a plethora of contractors and agencies which are bringing construction workers on to sites and which are contracted by the State. Big companies such as BAM are using... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] The most interesting and astute comment in this debate so far came from Deputy Willie O'Dea.[Barry, Mick] | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [654] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] Wait for it.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [654] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] He said the rise in the level of precarious work would threaten growth and social stability. It is interesting in the sense that he is a capitalist politician who is predicting that capitalist policies will undermine capitalism and it is astute in the sense that he is correct. Low-hour con... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [654] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] The expansion of precarious working conditions is a cancer which is eating away at employment conditions for all in this and many other countries throughout the world. It acts to undermine the rights and conditions - the stability of life - achieved by a previous generation of workers and..... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [655] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] The ICTU report found that across the country, there are currently 163,000 workers facing conditions of zero-hour contracts or so-called if-and-when contracts; this is what is dressed up as the gig economy. They cannot tell from week to week what hours they will work, if they definitely wil... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I will share time with Deputy Clare Daly. We will take ten minutes each.
The last time I spoke on this issue I referred to an interview on the radio with Arne L. Kalleberg who is professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina. He recently wrote Precarious Lives: Job Insecurit... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [656] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I will be relatively brief because I am losing the will to live listening to some of the contributions we have had to endure here tonight. I do not say that lightly. However, nobody should be patting themselves on the back because of this legislation. This is one of the worst examples of ... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [658] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] The recommendation by UL was for a six-month lookback period, which would work in conjunction with an amendment that would allow employees who have been longer than 12 months in employment to apply for contracts that reflect their working hours. After 12 months, all workers should be able t... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I call Deputy Michael Collins, whom I understand is sharing time.[Lahart, John] | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [660] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I welcome the opportunity to contribute on this motion. The Bill is important legislation that is intended to protect workers who are currently on zero-hour contracts. More often than not, these contracts are enforced by our larger employers. People are expected to work eight hours across... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [660] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I am delighted to contribute on this Bill. I wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day, although it is getting into the night.[McGrath, Mattie] | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [661] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I appreciate it, though.[Lahart, John] | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [661] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] The Minister might be in a hurry home to her partner and kids. I wish them all well. In fairness to the Minister, she seems to be grappling with some of the issues since getting her new post. There are many to be grappled with. I also hope that the staff - I am sorry, as I did not see th... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [661] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] It is not just the ladies, Deputy.[Doherty, Regina] | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [661] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I know, but normally flowers are for the ladies. It works both ways. It is a two-way street, like this Bill. Like employers and employees, it is a two-way street, and the grass grows in the middle.[McGrath, Mattie] | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [661] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I am glad that we are on to the Bill, Deputy.[Lahart, John] | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [661] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] We are getting there. The issue of protection for workers who are in precarious work situations is of deep concern to us all. We are all aware from the amount of contact that we have received on this matter that the levels of uncertainty that zero-hour contracts create for workers and fami... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [661] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] That is right.[O'Dea, Willie] | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [662] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] One morning when we were walking over a bridge, we were lucky to get to the other side alive, but we did, thank God, and we are here to tell the tale. It is an excellent institution.
Why do we constantly commission reports? I dealt with the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, today regar... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [662] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] McAlpine would not have it when he was building in London. I said it would keep up Shannon Bridge or the whole of Dublin Castle. It is only to put up the scaffolding. They told me the ground conditions here are an issue. If we are not careful, we will fall through the cracks someday. Th... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] IBEC.[O'Dea, Willie] | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [663] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] IBEC. It is big business. I see them around here all the time. I know them from a former incarnation. Some of them are in the Construction Industry Federation. They are not interested in the little people. We have to recover na daoine beaga. It is na teaghlaigh go léir agus na feirmeo... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [663] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I agree with the Deputy.[Doherty, Regina] | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [663] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I thank the Minister. Normally the Minister nods when she agrees with me but she was doing something else so I thought she was saying she did not agree with me. That is grand. We will accept that. As I said, a quarter of all employees working nine to 18 hours per week are in wholesale or... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [663] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] Some 32% of women are in temporary employment, many of who are on zero-hour contracts. That is not fair because in many instances they are homemakers as well and some are single parents but they are locked in a bind. Some 10% of Tesco staff are in receipt of family income supplement. Comp... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] Far too many people in this country are suffering because of insecure and precarious employment. Our young people, in particular, find themselves locked out of secure employment, decent conditions and fair pay. Having a set working week and a set wage is, for many people, now only somethin... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [665] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] Mandate has collected evidence from its members that details how these contracts can be weaponised to punish workers in a very disturbing manner. One worker in a very well-known Irish supermarket complained about a fire exit being blocked. His hours were cut from 40 hours per week to ten f... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] The burden of proof should fall to the employer to show that the changes to the work practices were a punitive response to raising concerns.
The issue of bogus self-employment is not addressed in the Bill; it is a glaring omission. The likelihood is that even the meek measures in the Bill... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I am sharing time with Deputy Fitzpatrick.
I welcome the Bill, which is part of the programme for Government, and I compliment the Minister on bringing it to the House. It is important to set out exactly what the Bill intends to do. It seeks to improve the security and predictability of ... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [669] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] The Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017 proposes to introduce measures to improve the security and predictability of working hours for employees who work under insecure contracts and also those who work variable hours. The Bill addresses areas that have been identified where cur... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [670] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] Under the Bill, such employees will be entitled to be placed in a band of hours that better reflects the hours they have worked over the 18 month reference period. The banded hours provisions will significantly improve the predictability and security of working hours for employees so that t... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Bill. There are many fine points in it and we want it to go to Committee Stage when we will examine potential amendments. I want to deal with a number of issues, in three sectors. Many people's contributions addressed agency work, zero-hour contra... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [672] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] This is an issue that comes within the remit of the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection and the Department of Finance and it needs to be resolved in favour of the community employment supervisors, many of whom have been left high and dry with no pension.
It was mention... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I thank Deputy Moynihan for sharing time with me. While I was in the Chair a number of the points I had intended to make were repeated many times on this side of the House and so I was deliberating on whether I ought to repeat them again. For the purpose of reinforcing the argument coming ... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [674] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] All the other points my colleagues made, on the insecurity of the banded hours, living with the associated tension, waiting for the call, and not being able to make plans and follow through on them if one is a single parent, build on that basic argument. Therefore, I will not repeat all the... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] This Bill is welcome. Any efforts to bring about greater security for workers must be commended. The Bill attempts to focus on employees being better informed about the nature of their employment arrangements and, in particular, the core terms at the early stage of their employment; prohib... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [675] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] Furthermore, there is the ongoing issue of the need for proper enforcement of existing employment legislation. Time and again we have employers ignoring the instructions of the Workplace Relations Commission or trade unions representing staff. The same is true of instructions from the... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I am pleased to have the opportunity to address this very important Bill. I note, as did the Minister in her opening remarks, the significant contribution made by others to the production and progress of the Bill to this Stage.
The legislation before us is essential in terms of providing.... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [677] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] While an employee can habitually work many hours in excess of those listed in the contract, and be paid for that work, he cannot access credit or gain access to a mortgage due to the fact the contract does not reflect the reality of the employment or the work done. Under the banded hours... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] Cuireann sé áthas orm an deis a bheith agam labhairt ar an ábhar tábhachtach seo. I am pleased to speak on this subject. In the first place it is fair to say that, especially in small businesses, there is normally a good and flexible working relationship between the employer and the employ... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [681] |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] There are more and more conglomerates as opposed to family firms in the hospitality sector and ownership is becoming more concentrated as opposed to diverse. This is also having an effect on the day to day lives of people. As I stated, we appear to be being pressed into a position in which... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] With regard to unscrupulous employers, I hope I am proven wrong and these laws will have an effect. I hope those employers do not dream up some other way of getting around the law to exploit ordinary workers. I can never understand the reasons for doing that as it creates an unwilling work... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I welcome the opportunity to speak on this important legislation, the Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017. It addresses key issues which have been identified as areas where current employment rights legislation should be strengthened to the benefit of employees, particularly low... | Vol-965 Book-5 Page [683] |  |
 | 14/02/2018 | [Bills] This will provide greater certainty and a truer reflection of their hours of work and level of earnings, thereby addressing, in particular, difficulties employees may have accessing financial credit, including mortgages.
The reference period of 18 months is considered sufficiently long to ... | Vol-965 Book-5 |  |
| 14/02/2018 | [Bills] I am glad to have an opportunity to speak to this important legislation which levels the ground somewhat in particular sectors in the employment market and labour force.
