I will now deal with the postponed division relating to the amendment to the Second Stage motion on the Banded Hours Contract Bill 2016. On Tuesday, 5 July 2016 on the question "That the amendment to the amendment be made" - in other words the Sinn Féin amendment to the Fianna Fáil amendment - a division was claimed. In accordance with Standing Order 70(2) that division must be taken now.
Banded Hours Contract Bill 2016: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members]
The following motion was moved by Deputy David Cullinane on Tuesday, 5 July 2016:
"That the Bill be now read a Second Time."
The following amendment No. 1 was moved by Deputy Niall Collins:
To delete all words after “That” and substitute the following:
“Dáil Éireann resolves that the Bill be deemed to be read a second time this day twelvemonths, to allow for scrutiny by the Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation and for the Committee to consider submissions and hold hearings that have regard in particular to ensure that:
(a) the proposed Bill examines proposals to ban zero hour contracts and the problems caused by the increased casualisation of work that prevents workers in low hour and zero hour type contract arrangements from being able to save or have any job security;
(b) the Bill has sufficient flexibility in its application for small businesses and provides a simple approach in this regard, while lessening the administrative burden;
(c) the Committee review section 18 of the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997 relating to the provision of zero hour contracts to allow workers on low and zero hour contracts a minimum set of hours and the right to request more hours;
(d) the Committee take on board the Study on the “Prevalence of Zero Hours Contracts among Irish Employers and their Impact on Employees”, as carried out by the University of Limerick;
(e) the proposed Bill examines changing the remit of the Low Pay Commission to review proposals on banded hour contracts for those on low pay; and
(f) social partners brief the Committee and make presentations to address the concerns of both sides of industry in order to provide a fair and workable system that works for both employers and workers in a fair and proportionate manner; and
to fully discuss and explore other practical issues and consequences that may arise as a result of the proposals.”
Debate resumed on amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 1:
To delete "this day twelve months" and substitute "not later than three months following the commencement of the Autumn session, 2016".
