asked the Minister for Labour whether any proposals have been formulated in the European Community regarding the regulation of work by under-age, non-union workers such as that undertaken by students on vacation.

No proposals have been submitted by the Commission of the European Communities to the Council of Ministers to regulate the employment of workers in the category specified in the Deputy's question.

Could I ask the Minister when we will have the Protection of Young Persons (Employment) Bill back in this House from the Seanad? It has been there for over a year now.

Shortly.

The same answer for the fourth time.
