I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to make further and better provision for promoting harmonious relations between workers and employers, to amend and extend the Industrial Relations Acts 1946 to 2004, to amend the Employment Permits Act 2006 and the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997, and to provide for related matters.

Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach (Deputy Paul Kehoe)

No.

Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin

But will the Government facilitate it?

An Ceann Comhairle

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
