Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Government indicates in its report that it continues to comply with the Convention, noting that a good relationship has been built over the years with representative employers’ and workers’ organizations. Officials from the Irish Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation meet with the national social partners regularly throughout the year, including consulting in relation to ILO matters, as appropriate. Moreover, no decision is made on the ratification or acceptance of Conventions or Recommendations before the Oireachtas (Parliament) prior to receiving the views of the representative employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee notes that all remaining instruments have been submitted to the Oireachtas, namely those adopted by the Conference at 11 sessions held from June 2000 to June 2015 (88th, 89th, 90th, 91st, 92nd, 95th, 96th, 99th, 101st, 103rd and 104th Sessions). It further notes with interest that Ireland ratified the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006), in July 2014, and the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189), in August 2014. The Committee requests the Government to provide full particulars on the content and outcome of the consultations held on each of the matters related to international labour standards listed in Article 5(1) of the Convention.
