I do not know the answer to that question. I will not make up an answer on the spot. If my Department was requested to appear before the Labour Court, I am certain that it would. It is the case that issues particular to particular sectors within our public service are, most of the time, represented by the State organisation in that sector. If this matter related to the Department of Health, most of the time, only the Department of Health would be there, as opposed to being with my Department. I will give the Cathaoirleach an answer to that.
