PQ 37
37. Deputy Ged Nash asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he will correct the response given by his Department to a Parliamentary Question (details supplied) that under Irish legislation, an employee cannot be discriminated against or dismissed due to their being a member of a trade union; and if, by doing so, he agrees that this statement is incorrect as there is no legislative protection against discrimination or any other disciplinary measure short of dismissal which an employer can impose on a trade union member as trade union membership is not a protected ground under the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2015.
