Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 February 2012
217 Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he can make it a requirement that non-governmental organisations that receive funding from him in return for such funding respect recommendations from the Labour Court. [6379/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, issues concerning the Labour Court come under the remit of my colleague, the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
However, it should be noted that were a Department to place more onerous obligations regarding Labour Court recommendations on a certain class of employer, i.e. non-governmental organisations (NGOs), who are in receipt of Departmental grants, such grants given to help these NGOs in the provision of services could instead end up financing, for example, redundancy payments on foot of Labour Court recommendations.
