asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce when it is intended to introduce proposals for legislation for the purpose of regulating the conditions of employment of workers not covered by the Conditions of Employment Act, 1936, or the Shops (Conditions of Employment) Act, 1938.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Regulation of Conditions of Employment.
I would refer the Deputy to the answer I gave to his question on this subject on the 27th April last.
Arising out of the Minister's reply, can he indicate whether legislation will be introduced this year, and made effective in regard to workers' holidays this year.
I have no idea what legislation the Deputy has in mind. If his question refers to legislation for the purpose of regulating the conditions of workers in certain occupations, it is improbable that legislation of that kind will be introduced this year.
Did the Minister say "improbable"?
Yes. It is improbable that that type of legislation will be introduced this year.
