All Workplace Dispute Agencies Now Under One Roof
Ireland's Minister of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Mary Mitchell-O'Connor TD, has officially opened the new offices of the Workplace Relations Commission and Labour Court, which enables all of the dispute resolution bodies of the state to be located under one roof in Lansdowne House.
The five bodies previously responsible for resolving workplace disputes are merged into two, to provide a better service at less cost to the State, employers and employees.
Speaking at the official opening, Minister Mitchell-O'Connor said: "I am delighted to officially open the new offices of the WRC and Labour Court, this now brings all the dispute resolution bodies of the state under one roof. This move to the new Headquarters is a significant step in the reform process taking us closer to the Government's vision of a world-class workplace relations service as envisaged by Government and enshrined in the Workplace Relations Act 2015.
"Merging five previous work place relations bodies into two has been the most far-reaching legislative reform in the area of employment and industrial relations in almost 70 years. I want to particularly congratulate the work of the staff in the work place relations commission for their hard work and dedication during this reform
"I commend wholeheartedly the dedication and commitment of all staff who have given of their energy and time to successfully bring this project to fruition."
