Proposals emerged under the umbrella of Croke Park II between the employer side and the trade unions and those proposals are being put to ballot or are being dealt with in accordance with the rules and procedures of each union. It would not be helpful for any member of the Government or Member of the House to intrude in the process until we get a result. The unions present at the negotiations understand perfectly well what is the process and I do not want to be seen to seek to intrude into those affairs.
