EXPLANATORY NOTE.

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)

These Regulations remove the provision in the Labour Services Act 1987 (No. 15 of 1987) (Paragraph 10(c) of Part II of the Schedule) that an employee must work not less than 18 hours a week for FÁS before being entitled to vote in Worker Director Elections. The Regulations also remove the provision (in Paragraph 11 of Part II of the Schedule that an employee must work not less than 18 hours a week for FÁS to be eligible to be nominated as a candidate at the Elections. This is to give full effect to Section 9 of the Protection of Employees (Part-Time Work) Act 2001 (No. 45 of 2001), which outlaws the discrimination of part-time workers.
