As a policy adviser, Barry Kearney worked extensively on the Protection of Employee Tips Bill 2017, which if enacted would have make it illegal for employers to take their workers' tips. The Bill passed all stages in the Seanad and Second Stage in the Dáil, only to be defeated by the Fine Gael-led minority government. Barry spoke to us about the problems the bill sought to address, the work that went into it, and how and why it was ultimately thwarted.
