I have made my point and it is one on which I feel very strongly. I have also been attacked by this person on social media for daring to nominate somebody else.

Today, I visited the Clerys workers outside the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation. I would like to endorse their demand that the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Richard Bruton, should effect a change in the law to ensure that employers must engage in a 30-day period of consultation with employees before redundancies can occur. If they fail to consult their employees, there should be consequences and that staff would still be entitled to wages. In addition, workers and unions should be able to apply to have company directors who act in this abominable fashion disqualified for at least five years.
