Protection of Employees (Employers' Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2026-03-24
============================================================

Aubrey McCarthy (IND), University of Dublin

I thank the Minister of State. I understand then that a sole trader will be covered, but if the sole trader is an employer, then he or she would not be covered. I appreciate the Minister of State hearing my concerns as he has outlined. We will keep matters under review. I do not wish to press the amendment. I will withdraw it.
