Text
Minister, you promised a 'good jobs' Bill by the end of the mandate, but time is running out. You say that it will be introduced in January, but we have not even seen a draft. This afternoon, your party will move a motion on the cost of living, but it is hard to take that seriously when Sinn Féin has not delivered the workers' rights Bill that you promised.
