Collective bargaining legislation

Summary

Patrick Nulty asks when legislation protecting workers’ collective bargaining rights will be published. The Taoiseach says no commencement date is available.

It seems to me that some commentators and some people in this country do not believe workers have the right to engage in industrial action to protect their pay and conditions.

When will legislation to provide for the right of workers to engage in collective bargaining be published? When will we see it before the House?
