Dáil Éireann - Volume 71 - 27 April, 1938 Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Amendment of Conditions of Employment Act. Mr. Norton Mr. Norton Mr. Norton asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state when it is proposed to introduce the Bill for the purpose of regulating the conditions of employment of workers not covered by the Conditions of Employment Act, 1936, or the Shops (Conditions of Employment) Act, 1938. Mr. Lemass Mr. Lemass Mr. Lemass: I am not in a position to state when legislation on the subject-matter of the Deputy's question is likely to be introduced or the extent to which such legislation, if introduced, will cover employment other than that regulated by the Conditions of Employment Act, 1936, or the Shops (Conditions of Employment) Act, 1938. So far as the matter of holidays with pay is concerned, I would refer the Deputy to the answer I gave to his question on the 23rd ultimo. Mr. Norton Mr. Norton Mr. Norton: The Minister is, of course, aware that the year is passing, and if this legislation is not introduced and made operative this year, the workers, who might otherwise stand to gain, will be likely to lose. Could the Minister give me any indication whether it is intended to introduce the legislation this year and to make it operative as from this year, so that the workers may get holidays? Mr. Lemass Mr. Lemass Mr. Lemass: It is intended to introduce the legislation as soon as it can be completed. Mr. Norton Mr. Norton 7 [7] Mr. Norton: And to make it operative this year? Mr. Lemass Mr. Lemass Mr. Lemass: That will depend on when it is completed. Mr. Norton Mr. Norton Mr. Norton: Will the Minister endeavour to introduce and complete the legislation before the House adjourns for the Summer Recess? Mr. Lemass Mr. Lemass Mr. Lemass: I shall endeavour to introduce it as soon as possible. Mr. Norton Mr. Norton Mr. Norton: The Minister said that before. Does he mean by that that it will be introduced and passed into law before the Dáil adjourns for the Summer Recess? Mr. Lemass Mr. Lemass Mr. Lemass: That depends on a number of factors outside my control. Dáil Éireann 71 Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. Amendment of Conditions of Employment Act.
