Vol. 269 No. 4

Written Answers. - School Bus Drivers. Conditions of Employment.

38.

asked the Minister for Labour if he is aware that a large number of regular part-time school bus drivers are employed by CIE under conditions of employment which deprive them of participation under the Redundancy Payments Act, 1973; and if he will extend the scope of the Act to these workers notwithstanding that their hours of work may be less than 21 hours per week.

I do not believe that an extension of the scope of the Redundancy Payments Acts to any one category of workers among those at present excluded would be desirable. I am, however, reviewing various aspects of the redundancy legislation and I shall keep this general problem in mind.
