Let me refer back to my previous question in relation to a company which closes down in order to overcome an industrial relations problem. Can the Minister tell us whether this area is being covered under the new Bill? One such case, Hanlon Ambulances, was referred to on the radio today.

I did not hear that case raised on the radio today but there are provisions contained in the Bill which cover that type of case. I do not know what particular one the Deputy is referring to but there have been amendments to the Bill to cover that type of case.
