Workers In Liquidated Companies To Be Protected

The Dáil will next week debate a bill which aims to improve workers' rights in liquidation situations. The bill, which has become known as the Debenhams Bill, aims to address a situation where workers in companies which go into liquidation rarely receive redundancy payments or any compensation from their employer.

Mick Barry joined us to discuss the bill further. [audio mp3="https://media.radiocms.net/uploads/2021/05/07180915/LW-Liquidated-Companies.mp3"][/audio]
