899. Deputy Eoghan Kenny asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the actions she will take to remedy the situation for section 39 workers in Mallow, County Cork (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2218/25]
View answerIt is important to note that Section 39 organisations, such as the St. Joseph’s Foundation, are not public bodies. The terms and conditions of employment for staff in these organisations, once in-line with relevant employment legislation, are ultimately between the employer and employee.
While the HSE maintains a Red Weather policy for HSE and Section 38 organisations, as a Section 39 organisation, St. Joseph’s Foundation operate it's own policy that is required to be in line with employment law.
