Given our discussions at this meeting in respect of allowances and the pressure on front-line staff, I hope that full agreement will be reached. If such agreement is not forthcoming, then the right action should be taken in order to ensure that the Labour Court recommendations are implemented. We have dealt with this matter at many previous hearings and it is just not acceptable that while certain front-line staff have been obliged to deal with both cutbacks and additional pressures, a particular group has not responded in respect of the agenda which must be implemented.
