Employer insolvency protection directive
Taylor asked when the EEC directive protecting employees when employers become insolvent would be implemented and urged early action; Kavanagh said a Bill was being prepared as a priority for introduction during the current Dáil session.
asked the Minister for Labour when EEC Directive No. 80/987 on the protection of employees in the event of the insolvency of the employer will be implemented; and if, in view of the need for protection of many employees having regard to the current number of employer insolvencies, he will arrange for the implementation of the directive notwithstanding that the time limit specified by the EEC has not yet expired.
