The Taoiseach answered this question yesterday. The position is that the chief executive of the Labour Relations Commission has been given additional time to have direct discussions with individual trade unions. He will report to the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform on Monday and the Minister will report to the Cabinet on Tuesday. Then it will be a matter for the Government to decide what is to be done.
