Arbitration (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2026-05-06
============================================================

Laura Harmon (LAB), Industrial and Commercial Panel

Yes, and I am putting that on the record because I have serious concerns about this, as do many members of the public. We have all got thousands of emails in relation to this. I take it very seriously that the public have concerns about this. I think there needs to be more awareness in relation to it. In fairness, Senator McDowell made the point so cogently. Senator Higgins has been arguing against this since its inception. It is really important that we raise more awareness about the damages this will have if it is fully implemented.
