Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 2 May 2012
54 Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the current status of the Protection of Employees (Temporary Agency Work) Bill 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22209/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraA Bill entitled the "Protection of Employees (Temporary Agency Work) Bill, 2011" designed to give effect to the EU Directive on Temporary Agency Work, completed passage in the Dáil in mid-February, 2012 and completed all stages in the Seanad on 27 April 2012. The Bill will be returned to the Dail on 9 May for consideration of Seanad amendments and, assuming final passage in both Houses, the Bill will be sent to the President for signature thereafter. I can assure the Deputy that the Bill is a priority Bill for my Department and I expect that the Bill will be enacted by mid-May, 2012.
