Apprenticeship Act, 1959
|
Designated trades. |
21.—(1) On completion of an examination under section 20 of this Act of the methods used in a trade for the recruitment and training of apprentices, An Chomhairle may, if it so thinks proper, by order declare the trade to be a designated trade for the purposes of this Act either throughout the State or in any specified part of the State. | |
(2) In the case of a trade in respect of which, immediately before the passing of this Act, an order under section 2 of the Apprenticeship Act, 1931 , was in force, An Chomhairle may, without carrying out an examination under section 20 of this Act, by order declare the trade to be a designated trade for the purposes of this Act either (in conformity with the first-mentioned order) throughout the State or in any specified part of the State. | ||
(3) An Chomhairle may by order revoke or amend an order under this section (including an order under this subsection). | ||
(4) Where An Chomhairle, having completed an examination under section 20 of this Act of the methods which, pursuant to any agreement, scheme or arrangement, are used in a trade for the recruitment and training of apprentices, is of opinion that, instead of making an order under this section, it would be sufficient if the agreement, scheme or arrangement were modified— | ||
(a) An Chomhairle may inform the persons entitled to modify the agreement, scheme or arrangement that, if it is modified in specified respects within a specified period, an order will not be made under this section by reference to that examination, and | ||
(b) if it is so modified, an order shall not be so made. | ||
(5) Where an agreement, scheme or arrangement is modified as provided for in subsection (4) of this section and the persons entitled to do so at any time propose to modify further the agreement scheme or arrangement, those persons shall, before making such further modification, inform An Chomhairle of the nature of the proposed modification. | ||
(6) Every order under this section shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas as soon as may be after it is made and, if a resolution annulling the order is passed by either such House within the next subsequent twenty-one days on which that House has sat after the order is laid before it, the order shall be annulled accordingly, but without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done under the order. |
