Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

I believe the legislative provision referred to in the question by the Deputy relates to Section 2B (inserted by section 2 of the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2013) of the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (No. 2) Act 2009. This provision was repealed under section 86(3) of the Workplace Relations Act 2015.
