Employment equality Bill

Summary

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin asked when the Employment Equality (Amendment) Bill would reach the Dáil; the Taoiseach said he was unsure of its legislative position.

The former Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Shatter, was extremely supportive of the Employment Equality (Amendment) (No.2) Bill 2013, which was introduced in the Seanad last year. When will the Bill, the purpose of which is to ensure that State employees of religious-run institutions will have the same rights as all other employees, be introduced in this House?

The Deputy is referring to a Private Members' Bill that was introduced in the Seanad. I am not sure where it is on the conveyor belt at present.
