798. Deputy Catherine Martin asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if her attention has been drawn to the fact that in 2015 the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled in case C-266/14 that in instances in which workers do not have a fixed place of work, the time they spend travelling between their home and their first and last customers each day counts as working time; if her attention has been further drawn to the fact that section 8 of the National Minimum Wage Act 2000 states that working time does not include time spent travelling to and from work and therefore this ECJ ruling will not apply to employees in the private sector; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that under the principle of direct effect it does apply to the public sector; and her plans to update current legislation to cater for the aforementioned ECJ ruling.
