Liz McManus
Ceist:44 Ms McManus asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the Government's position on the directive proposed by EU Commissioner Flynn which would require companies to consult more widely with their staff, particularly in view of the fact that this country has no comprehensive worker consultation rules on its statute books; if Ireland will be supporting the proposed directive; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
