Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

I move: That the proposal that Dáil Éireann approves the following Order in draft: Sectoral Employment Order (Construction Sector) 2023, a copy of which has been laid in draft form before Dáil Éireann on 5th April, 2023, be referred to the Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment, in accordance with Standing Order 95(5), which, not later than 27th April, 2023, shall send a message to the Dáil in the manner prescribed in Standing Order 101, and Standing Order 100(2) shall accordingly apply. I am not looking for a debate; I just want to point something out to the House.

It is welcome that the order is being brought forward but the House should know that by keeping a ceiling on wages in the construction industry----- No, that is a debate. -----we are feeding into the lack of staff for building homes and retrofitting. The Deputy will have to take it up on another occasion.

May I comment?

CC Catherine Connolly

No, I am afraid not.

PBP Bríd Smith

I am not looking for a debate; I just want to point something out to the House. It is an important issue.

CC Catherine Connolly

Is it a point of correction?

PBP Bríd Smith

Yes, exactly. It is welcome that the order is being brought forward but the House should know that by keeping a ceiling on wages in the construction industry-----

CC Catherine Connolly

No, that is a debate.

-----we are feeding into the lack of staff for building homes and retrofitting. Something needs to be done about it.

CC Catherine Connolly

The Deputy will have to take it up on another occasion. I am caught by the rules here. This is a motion to be taken without debate.

FG Neale Richmond

We can debate it tomorrow morning at the committee.
