Workplace Relations (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-07-15
============================================================

Jerry Buttimer (FG), Labour Panel

I have a question for the Minister of State about the adjudication officers. Who appoints them and what are their qualifications? When we create legislation, I worry that sometimes, the practicalities in respect of the courts' decisions are different. I want us to make it easy for people. Senator Seery Kearney mentioned the referee process and I fully support that. However, I seek more clarity on the role of the adjudication officer for myself. I apologise that I might not necessarily know this.
