Employment Equality (Amendment) (Non-Disclosure Agreements) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages [Private Members]
Seanad Éireann — 2023-10-25
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

I congratulate Senator Ruane and indeed her team. This is a really important piece of legislation. As I said on Second Stage, as a trade union official I came across these NDAs and they really are an evil, nasty arrangement designed to silence workers. That is what it is all about, silencing workers who are all too often women. It is a really important piece of work. I congratulate Senator Ruane and her team and I very much welcome the words of the Minister today in terms of his commitment to advance this and he will certainly have Sinn Féin's support.
