Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Pay Pacts.
I presume the Deputy is referring in his question to the national agreements negotiated by the Employer/Labour Conference in December, 1970, and July, 1972. The parties to the conference have subscr...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Industrial Democracy.
With your permission, a Cheann Chomhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 24 and 25 together. The 14-point programme of the National Coalition contains an overall and firm commitment to advance work...
Not at this stage. I would hope in the Recess to be able to proceed in legislative form on our commitment to introduce this in the State sector.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Victimisation of Young People.
I outlined my views on discrimination, on whatever ground, when replying to the debate on the Estimate for my Department on the 28th June last. I referred to what I described as discrimination on the...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Child Labour.
I am working on a draft Hours of Work Bill which will prohibit the employment of children under the school-leaving age on shop, hotel, restaurant, office, mining or industrial work.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Production-line Workers.
The normal industrial working week is now a five day 38-42 hour one. This has been brought about in negotiations between employers and unions in conditions of free collective bargaining. I have no do...
It is a matter for the trades unions and employers in negotiation.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Ability of Irish Workers.
I understand from Press reports that the board of the company dissociated itself from the remarks passed by one of the directors, and dismissed the person in question. In the circumstances I do not co...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Vocational Training.
General guidelines for the development of vocational training at community level were accepted by the Council of the EEC on 21st July, 1971. Following the Summit Meeting of October, 1972, a draft of ...
I presume this will hold but the setting up of the centre by the EEC is at a very early stage. It is too soon to say what guidelines they will set down.
I do not know about that feeling, but if the Deputy has any grounds for concern in this area I will be happy to hear them.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Movement of Labour.
The effect in this country of the EEC regulations on the free movement of workers, which came into force on 1st January, 1973, has not been significant. The National Manpower Service has received app...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - National Manpower Service.
The number of placement officers employed by the National Manpower Service in (a) Dublin is eight and (b) in the rest of the country is 20.
No, I do not.
A further ten placement officers are due to take up duty within the next month. Some of these will be appointed to the Dublin office.
I imagine that the majority will be appointed to the Dublin office. For the information of the Deputy a competition for a further 13 placement officers will take place shortly. I hope that before th...
I do not know at present. I do not know exactly how many of the 60 will be assigned to Dublin but it would be proportionate to the population. There is a large population centred in Dublin, almost o...
I am afraid that Deputy Lynch is hard of hearing these days on many matters. I would point out to the Deputy that the drift of the question was whether we are appointing enough placement officers. I ...
I compliment Deputy Haughey on the constructive nature of his question. He can have my assurance that this is a part of the service that I am anxious to see improved. Deputy Haughey is quite correct ...
There are at present vacancies for 32 placement officers in my Department. I hope to fill 12 of these vecancies shortly from recommendations made by the Civil Service Commission. A competition for ...
On the 29th June, 1973, there were 16,481 men and 5,046 women registered with the National Manpower Service. During the past three months 3,096 persons, 2,200 men and 896 women, have been placed in e...
I am anxious to ensure that the vacancies, wherever they come up, should have the widest public knowledge that they are available. I hope that we can build up greater co-operation with employers to se...
As the Deputy is aware we are faced with a complicated situation where you do have, by tradition, such methods of filling employment. This also holds for many employers in the country. I think that ...
Yes.
I am told very frequently. I am not in a position to give the exact details.
Yes.
I do not know the answer to that.
I understand that this particular applicant is interested primarily in the mechanical and electrical trades. There is no upper age limit for entry to these two trades so that if he succeeds in obtain...
There is quite an amount of study under way at present on the whole question of apprenticeships. There is the problem of shortage of apprentices and yet, in certain areas, the number of applicants far...
I can assure the Deputy that all in the National Manpower Service will be done on behalf of this apprentice and other apprentices looking for vacancies. Question No. 36 postponed.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Redundancy Figures.
The total number of redundancies notified under the Redundancy Payments Acts to my Department for the three months April, May and June, 1973 was 2,033, 1,400 men and 633 women. This shows a reduction...

My Department has not received any recent notifications of redundancies in the firm in question.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Factory Inspectorate.
There are 37 industrial inspectors at present serving in my Department. I expect to have six additional inspectors in service by September next and by the end of the year I hope to have 52 inspectors...
I am not aware what exactly the position is.
I do not have the answer with me, but I will inquire.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - State Board Composition.
There have been no changes in the composition or the terms of reference of any State board, commission, or committee under the aegis of my Department since 14th March, 1973.
No new board, commission or committee has been established under the aegis of my Department since 14th March, 1973.
Order of Business.
It is not a point of order.
