Mandatory retirement age Bill

Summary

Eamon Ryan requested an update on restoring the Employment Equality (Abolition of Mandatory Retirement Age) Bill. The Tánaiste said the matter was being pursued but it had not yet returned to the Order Paper.

On the Order of Business a couple of weeks ago, I asked for an update on the Employment Equality (Abolition of Mandatory Retirement Age) Bill 2014 and whether the Government intended to reintroduce it. I was promised an update but I have not heard anything. Can the Tánaiste ensure I get some sort of reply, even if she does not have the details with her now?

The issue is being pursued and we will reply to the Deputy with some further details in the next couple of days. It has not yet been restored to the Order Paper and was originally a Private Members' Bill.
