Vol. 476 No. 5

Written Answers - Unfair Dismissals.

Tom Kitt

Ceist:

228 Mr. T. Kitt asked the Minister for Enterprise and Employment if he will amend section 3 of the Unfair Dismissals (Amendment) Act, 1993, in view of the fact that an anomaly has arisen regarding second or further fixed term contracts for persons who are, as a result of this legislation, being refused second fixed term contracts by some employers, where previously they might have been offered such contracts; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7418/97]

I have no plans to introduce legislation along the lines suggested by the Deputy. However, my Department will monitor developments in this area and I will consider amending the legislation in the future should the need arise.
